Anatomy and Physiology 12 focuses on cell and human biology, allowing you to develop an interest in and understanding of science by investigating how the human body systems are integrated to maintain homeostasis. Course Objectives & Content: This course addresses a wide variety of learning outcomes across three main topic areas, as described in the 2016-2017 Draft Curriculum: (https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/10-12) TOPIC AREA RELATED CONCEPTS Homeostasis Cellular Compounds & Biological Molecules, Dehydration & Synthesis Reactions, Enzymes & Metabolic Pathways, Feedback Loops DNA & Cells Cell Structure, DNA Replication, Protein Synthesis, Genetic Mutations & Technologies, Transport Across the Cell Membrane, Surface Area to Volume Ratio Organization Tissue types, Digestive, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Nervous, Endocrine, Urinary, and Reproductive Systems. The Science Curricular Competencies (questioning/predicting, planning/conducting, processing/analyzing, evaluating, applying/innovating, and communicating) are integrated throughout Anatomy & Physiology 12. Students build competency through activities and assignments such as published lab exercises, student-designed labs, dissections, research-based presentations, and creative projects.
