Mission For The Class

Anatomy and Physiology - Medical: 
MY VISION FOR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY MEDICAL:
1) To prepare the student for a college level Anatomy and Physiology course.
2) To provide a foundation of terminology used in Anatomy and the medical 
field.
3) To use a variety of methods to learn materials (lecture, labs, lab 
quizzes, research and presentation by peers).


COURSE OVERVIEW: Human Anatomy and Physiology - Medical is a class designed 
to meet the needs of senior students who have a genuine interest in a health 
care occupation. This course will provide the student with a strong academic 
background in Human Anatomy and Physiology as well as a practical hands on 
experience in the hospital setting. In the fall semester, students will 
attend a regular Human Anatomy and Physiology course for two periods each 
day. In this class, students will study human body systems with particular 
emphasis upon disease and the treatment of disease. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, 
and Thursdays during the spring semester, Central High School students will 
attend Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center (Joliet). Students will leave 
Lincoln-Way one-half hour before the start of first hour and will return for 
their 3rd hour class. At the hospital, students will rotate through various 
departments for an intern experience. On Mondays and Fridays, students will 
attend the Lincoln-Way campus for career research, seminar reports, ethics 
research and discussion, guest speakers, etc.

proper lab skills, observation and note taking techniques.
