Anatomy & Physiology Book

We will be studying the human body systems focusing on how their parts (anatomy) function together (physiology) to sustain life (characteristics of life).

Each student will create an anatomy & physiology book ON PAPER (not on the computer) with sections for each of the major body systems. Individual sections will be minor assessment grades and the whole book will be a major assessment grade and will include information on disorders of each system.

Each body system section with have the following parts:• Overall Functions• Parts and their individual functions• Labeled sketch of the body system• Citations of your sources
