In this course students will explore the relationship between structure and function and how the human body maintains homeostasis. You will apply principles learned in biology to each of the human body systems as well as how cellular transport, cellular organelles, and organic macromolecules come together in a specific organization to maintain life. By the end of the course, students will explore both the anatomy and physiology of each body system, practice using anatomical terminology to describe the location and structure of organs and tissues within the body systems, take an in depth look at select processes that apply biological and chemical principles to body processes, learn about diseases and disorders that affect each body system, treatments, and preventive measures, and practice applying knowledge of body systems to case studies involving real-world scenarios.
