Physiology Honors

Picture
Welcome to Honors Physiology! I expect that you have enrolled in this course because you are interested in science and motivated to succeed. Those of you who participate in class, work hard, and have fun will enjoy both positive recognition and success!

This year, we will examine the anatomical structures of the body, while focusing on the relationship between their structure and function.  All body systems will be covered from a microscopic to macroscopic level. 

This website gives you access to calendars, assignments, due dates, and notes for every unit! Please bookmark this page and look here whenever you have any questions about the course!
