Welcome to Biology II- Human Biology!
Course Description
This laboratory course is for serious students with average or better ability who are interested in learning about the various parts of the human body and their functions. Lab activities will include examination
and/or dissection of animal organs similar to human organs. The student should have average or above reading ability and have successfully completed Biology I and Chemistry I with a "C" or above.
The class will cover basic biochemistry, embryology, human anatomy, microbiology, and physiology. Students will be expected to participate in the dissection of a mink. They will also be expected to work independently, and in small groups.
Rationale
The human biology class is an elective class designed for students interested in medically related fields or who are interested in extending their practical knowledge about the body in which they live. Through
the study of the human body, students develop an understanding of who they are, what makes their bodies work, and what happens when their bodies malfunction. Decision making and responsibility are stressed. By learning about themselves, students develop an understanding of the effects of their choices and decisions. Students are directed toward making positive choices and decisions about their bodies through authentic life activities and assessments.
