Anatomy & Physiology, Part 2

In Anatomy & Physiology Part 2, students investigate the major body systems responsible for movement, communication, regulation, transport, and reproduction. Students study the muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, immune, and lymphatic systems, examining how each contributes to maintaining homeostasis. They explore the structure and function of organs, tissues, and physiological processes while analyzing common diseases and disorders that affect human health. Through scientific inquiry, laboratory investigations, data analysis, and real-world applications, students develop a deeper understanding of how body systems interact to support life and maintain the body’s internal balance The course is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the National Health Science Standards (NHSS). It is approved by the University of California A-G as a laboratory science – Life Sciences (category D).

Upon completion of this course, the student is awarded 5 credits. Each credit corresponds to 15 hours of study. Of course, some students work more quickly than others, and some can devote more hours to study, so some students are able to complete the course at an accelerated rate.
