Anatomy & Physiology (9th-12th)

Discover the incredible complexity and purposeful design of the human body! In this high school Anatomy & Physiology course, students will explore the structure and function of four major body systems using Master Books’ Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology 1. Through a biblical worldview, students will investigate how the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems work individually and together to support movement, circulation, breathing, communication, and overall health.

Students will complete assigned readings and coursework outside of class while class time is used for instruction, discussion, review, demonstrations, activities, and reinforcement of key concepts. The course provides a strong foundation for future studies in biology, nursing, medicine, physical therapy, sports medicine, health sciences, and other healthcare-related fields.

Course Overview:

  • Musculoskeletal System:
    Study bones, joints, muscles, movement, and the injuries and disorders that affect the skeletal and muscular systems.
  • Cardiovascular System:
    Explore the structure and function of the heart, blood vessels, circulation, blood pressure, and common cardiovascular diseases and disorders.
  • Respiratory System:
    Learn how breathing and gas exchange occur, how oxygen and carbon dioxide move through the body, and how the respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together.
  • Nervous System:
    Investigate the brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory and motor functions, communication throughout the body, and selected nervous-system disorders and injuries.
  • Biblical Worldview:
    Examine anatomy and physiology from a Christ-centered perspective while recognizing the complexity, order, and purposeful design of the human body.
  • Preparation for Health Sciences:
    Develop foundational anatomical terminology, scientific understanding, and practical knowledge useful for advanced biology and future studies in healthcare-related fields.
