This elective science course includes a detailed study of many human body systems and is recommended for students interested in a health-related career, especially those students who plan to study medicine, nursing, physical therapy and athletic training. The course may also be helpful for those students who plan to enter education as either a life science of physical education teacher. Homeostatic balance, the relationship between structure and function and the interrelationships between body systems are a focus throughout the course. Laboratory activities will include several microscopic analyses of tissue specimen as well as several dissections to accompany the subject matter.
