Human Biology Honors

This is an introductory course in human anatomy and physiology geared toward students interested in medical, veterinary, nursing, dentistry and many other biological fields. This course includes a significant lab section that will cover animal dissections which help students understand the principals and concepts used in anatomy and physiology. This course covers five main areas: organization of the human body systems; principles of movement and support; control systems of the human body; and maintenance and homeostasis of the human body. This is a rigorous course based on student’s previous success with biology and chemistry. It is the next step beyond these two college prep courses. University of California recognizes this as an honors class and adds one extra grade point when calculating the GPA.
