Prerequisite
It is recommended that students complete Science 10. Chemistry 11 is recommended. Life Sciences 11 (Old course name Biology 11) is not necessary for Anatomy and Physiology 12.
Description
Anatomy and Physiology 12 (previously Biology 12) is an online, media-rich course designed to meet the new BC Anatomy and Physiology 12 Curriculum (2018). The course offers interactive lessons, a variety of guided activities, assignments and labs, and rubric-based assessment. There are learning guides to assist in note taking throughout the course.
This course consists of four units that incorporate the Big Ideas of Homeostasis, Gene Expression and Organ Systems. The first two units focus on cellular biology and the last two units cover the major systems of the body, focusing on anatomy and physiology.
Unit One
Chapter 1 Homeostasis, Cell Structure and Function
Chapter 2 Cell Compounds and Biological Molecules
Chapter 3 Cell Membrane Transport
Unit Two
Chapter 4 DNA Replication
Chapter 5 Protein Synthesis-Gene Expression
Chapter 6 Enzymes
Unit Three
Chapter 7 Digestive System
Chapter 8 Circulatory and Lymphatic Systems
Chapter 9 The Heart and Blood Pressure
Chapter 10 Respiratory System
Unit Four
Chapter 11 Nervous System
Chapter 12 Urinary System
Chapter 13 Reproduction System
