Honors Anatomy and Physiology Science

Summer Assignment

Welcome to Anatomy and Physiology at WTHS. The summer assignment is to prepare for a quiz that will be administered on the Friday 9/9. This quiz will be on selected topics from Chapters 2 and 3 of the anatomy text book. These topics are the basics of biology and chemistry which most apply to Anatomy and Physiology. It will be required of you to rely on your past knowledge throughout the year. Anatomy and physiology is too rigorous and fast paced to redo previous materials.

We will have a question and answer session on Thursday 9/8. It is you job to come prepared to that session. That session is not a lecture, it is you asking and the class discussing any questions you might have. To be successful on the quiz, you should have already studied by Thursday 9/8. Below are instructions on how to access the textbook online.
