A&P I and II??

No, this is what mine was like too.

From my own experience, it was Anatomy and Physiology I and Anatomy and Physiology II. Lecture was physiology with some anatomy in terms of when form followed function; lab was anatomy. I'm told that's more common than what you describe.

Thank you.

In the Wisconsin Technical College System I believe all A&P I classes are primarily focused on anatomy with a bit of physiology overview and A&P II focuses on physiology after anatomy review. I might be wrong, but this is the course overview I've seen for other colleges I considered before settling on mine.

I guess my program just divides the subjects up completely into the separate classes, instead of combining them into 2 classes. I am taking Anatomy this Fall and Physiology in the Spring! I have to have A to take P

Yours is how mine was. It's the same thing. Some places do them in combination, and cover some systems one semester (both A&P) and the rest the next semester. I took them separately like you. Both are generally acceptable, as most schools understand that some schools do it one way and others do it the other, but the same material is ultimately covered.

at my school we have basic a&p, a&p 1, and a&p 2

My school has A&P together, but A&P I consists of a 3 credit hour lecture & 1 credit hour lab...then A&P II consists of the same lecture/lab structure.

Anatomy and Physiology were the same class. But I still had A&P 1 and A&P 2. I'd rather have it that way to be honest because anatomy and physiology coexist and it wouldn't make sense to me if I just took Anatomy for one class and Physiology for the other. I really don't think schools should do that as I would think it's hard to learn. You have to know why the anatomy is there and how it fits with physiology. But that is just my opinion. I know a university that does it like that though.. eh.

When you look at them being combined like mine were I is usually the bones and muscles with cell structure and physiology. II is more of the organ systems, where they are located and how they function. I took an advanced physiology class this last semester and we completely focused on physiology and I really liked it.

Our school separates them out. There are several schools in my area that will not accept a combined course, so it is very common and the expectation is that they are separate. We covered 27 chapters in one semester. My anatomy professor would say that even though we were learning anatomy that we were also learning physiology to some degree, because you can't fully separate the two out. Which is true, because I felt like we were expected to know the function as well. That said, I would imagine my physio class is going to be pretty complex, because they assume the understanding on human anatomy has been established.

We had 2 semesters of Anatomy and Physiology, BIO 203 and 204. They were both 4 credit hour classes with lecture twice a week and lab once a week. 204 just basically was a continuation of 203. Good luck! Buy some notecards and be prepared to study!
