This in-depth study of anatomy and physiology covers dissections (choose the lab kit or virtual experience) and further study of the systems of the human body. A special emphasis will be placed on the human identity and status of the embryo and fetus, incorporating a scientifically sound pro-life apologetics.

Suggested grade level: 10th to 12th grade
Suggested credit: One full semester of Anatomy & Physiology or Science
Instructor: Christine Hamilton Ph. D.
Course description: High school level in-depth study of human anatomy and physiology with dissection. Complete study of the basic principles of the human biology and its functions. Where appropriate, discussion of contemporary bioethical issues from the perspective of the Church’s moral magisterium will be engaged. The lab component will focus in depth on the organ systems of the body, their anatomy and physiology. These include the sensory, motor and integrative systems, special organs of sense, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, urinary, digestive, reproductive systems, as well as embryonic and fetal development. A special emphasis will be placed on the human identity and status of the embryo and fetus, incorporating a scientifically sound pro-life apologetics approach for students to take with them into their college and graduate level clinical training.
