| Course Description: | |
| The body systems of humans and animals are used as examples of systems necessary for the growth and maintenance of life. These systems are studied in terms of their general structures and functions in living things. Emphasis is placed on the evolutionary sequence of particular organs, tissues and functions so the student can grasp the concept of homology and the evidence by which scientists unite organisms into evolutionary groups. The biochemical functions of human systems are covered in relation to human pathologies and wellness. The course is aligned to NGSS, integrating Disciplinary Core Ideas from Life Science, Crosscutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices. | |
