N/ACourse description
In the Human Body Systems (HBS) course; students examine the interactions of body systems as they explore identity; communication; power; movement; protection; and homeostasis. Students design experiments; investigate the structures and functions of the human body; and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement; reflex and voluntary action; and respiration. Exploring science in action; students build organs and tissues on a skeletal manikin; work through interesting real world cases; and often play the role of biomedical professionals to solve medical mysteries. Students practice problem solving with structured activities and progress to open-ended projects and problems that require them to develop planning; documentation; communication; and other professional skills.
