About The Instructor!

Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology. Ill be your instructor for the course this semester, here are some fun little facts about me. Im Puerto Rican and lived there until I was in the 5th grade when I moved to Ohio. Im from a very small town in Ohio, I could tell you the name of all the students I graduated with. I attended Kent State University where I received my Bachelor in Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I have always loved anatomy and physiology so I was always taking extra classes along with my major classes while I was in college. I was also lucky enough to have the opportunity to dissect a human body in one of my classes. I cant wait to share my love of anatomy and physiology with you guys! Were going to have a great semester!

Course Description
We will pursue an understanding of how different parts of the human body function. We will continue to build on the information and experiences from your CP Biology course.
