Body in Question

The dynamic complexities of the human body from a number of perspectives

Body in Question explores the dynamic complexities of the human body, and is a powerful combination of health, anatomy, physiology, physics, immunology, psychology, mathematics, language, and literacy.

Students examine the nature of health and disease from the physiological, mental, social, emotional, and immunological aspects and investigate the role of physics in describing and explaining movement of the human body.
