Dual Enrollment Anatomy & Physiology I is a challenging course that covers basic anatomical language, histology, as well as the integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, and nervous system. Students are required to know both the anatomy of the organs involved within the systems as well as the physiology of the systems. To accomplish this, students will be expected to analyze case studies, complete virtual and physical labs, perform dissections, and to construct models in addition to tests and quizzes. This course requires a commitment of time due to the extensive vocabulary and complicated physiology of the body. This course is not intended for biology majors but is ideal for students entering the medical field.

• Credits:  1.0 (Grade Level:  11-12 / Prerequisite:  Biology and Chemistry; admission into UofM Dual Enrollment Program)

Special Note:  Upon successful completion of the course, 4 hours of college credit (BIOL 2010) will be awarded by the University of Memphis.

Dual Enrollment Anatomy & Physiology II is a rigorous course that covers the senses of the body, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, and reproductive systems. Students are expected to apply the anatomical and physiological knowledge from DE Anatomy and Physiology I to the current systems. In addition to assessments, students will analyze in-depth case studies, construct physical models to explain the pathology of disease, and construct instructional videos after dissections. This course requires a commitment of time due to the extensive vocabulary, complicated content, and rapid pace. This course is not intended for biology majors but is ideal for students entering the medical field.

• Credits:  1.0 (Grade Level:  11-12 / Prerequisite:  Dual Enrollment Anatomy & Physiology I)
