HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Human Anatomy and Physiology
1.
11- 12 Grades
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Human Anatomy and Physiology, the human body is studied by systems, focusing on
the different parts (anatomy) and their functions (physiology). The intent of the class is to
give the students more understanding of their bodies for personal use or professional
orientation. The course includes discussion on health issues and injuries that are common,
and those that are characteristic of other areas of the world. This course includes lectures,
book work, audio visual aids, and tests.

Even thou&h the human body's structure and function is the same, differences, such as:
lo~ation, politics, and cultures, can cause variations in medical care and illnesses in others
parts. of the world. The students will be made aware of the global problems associated
with these differences.
Areas of Interaction:
Approaches to learning: Accommodations will be made to different learning styles
through auditory, visual, and hands - on activities.
Health and social: Promote good health practices. Promote understanding of how poor
health habits can harm a person's health.
Community service: Encourage student's to take part in community service through Red
ribbon march, Breast cancer walk, Blood drive, etc.
Environment: Make students aware how destroying the environment is detrimental to a
person's health. Good stewartship of the environment would be good for the health of the
global population.
Human ingenuity: The students would do research to design programs that would
promote a health lifestyle. They would also research to gain understanding of certain
diseases and what can be done to prevent them.
