COURSE TITLE: Human Anatomy and Physiology

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Human Anatomy and Physiology Honors explores the systems comprising the
human body by emphasizing physiological mechanisms and a thorough understanding of human anatomy. An
emphasis is placed on the interrelatedness of such systems as the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and circulatory.
This course is recommended for those pursuing a career in the health science field. This course has a substantial
laboratory component, including a ca dissection.

COURSE CREDITS: 5 units, 3 units lecture and 2 units laboratory

CONTACT HOURS: 3 hours lecture and 6 hours laboratory work per week

PREREQUISITES: Biology, Zoology and Chemistry
