Description
Apologia’s Live Advanced Biology: The Human Body class is a college-preparatory, lab-based high school anatomy and physiology course that covers all of the major systems of the human body. Just as life begins with a single cell, this course will begin with simple concepts and move toward more complex ones as the year progresses. Students will study the skeletal, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, and nervous systems, among others.

Loisann Fowler
I fell in love with science during my first Biology class, and after studying Anatomy & Physiology in high school, my eyes were opened to understand there is a Creator behind all the majesty, beauty, and order. Therefore, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Auburn University and enjoyed physical therapy work with spinal injury patients after graduation. After being promoted to the profession of motherhood, I used Apologia Science with my children and others at home and in co-ops, and this will be my eleventh year with Apologia’s Live Classes.
