P before A

To get into the RN to BSN program down the road, I need to take a lab based Physiology and lab based anatomy class rather than the A&P combo option for non-transfer students.

Do I have any apprehensions with taking Physiology before Anatomy to worry about?

Hum, my college splits these classes too... Yet, to get into the Human Physiology class, I had to first take Human Anatomy.

I would check with your college just to be on the safe side.

Are you taking just one class or both?:sarcastic:

I don't know how different classes are from school to school but you should be fine. Physiology is looking at how the body works at a cellular level and the anatomy portion is (at least at my school for 101) is memorization of the bones, muscles (including their origin, insertions and actions), brain, nerves and eye as well as dissection of a brain and eye. So basically physiology is going to teach you how things work and anatomy will teach you (with the exception of the muscle actions) where things are. HTH some!

My school did them separately, with neither being a prereq for the other. Based on when I could actually get into the class (I was waitlisted for all of my sciences), I took physiology before anatomy, without any issues.

One of the girls in my anatomy lab took physiology first. She said anatomy definitely would have helped but she did ok without it.

I took anatomy first and was happy I did, because I'm taking physiology now and I thankful I took anatomy first. It's always easiest to take a class that talks about the basics and broad overview of each system and regions of the body before you take physiology which breaks down these areas further. You can do it, it'll just be really confusing at first

Structure dictates function. You should have anatomy before (or simultaneously with) physiology.

That's the way I did it and I got solid A's in both. Just be prepared to work and study hard. They are both challenging in different ways. You can definitely do it though!
