Apologia Basic Set - Advanced Biology 2nd Ed

The 2 books in this set include the Student Textbook and Solutions and Test Manual for Advanced Biology: The Human Body. Advanced Biology: The Human Body 2nd Edition, is a college-prep course that provides an advanced study of the human body’s 11 organ systems. This 2nd edition has updated discussions and photographs, as well as new content.

This advanced biology course covers both the anatomy and physiology of each of the human body’s organ systems for those students who have successfully completed high school biology and chemistry. Please note that the reproductive system is covered in detail, including accurate yet respectful illustrations and descriptions.

The high-quality hardcover student text contains all student material, study questions, laboratory exercises, and module study guides with color photos and illustrations. The softcover solutions-and-tests manual contains tests, test solutions, and answers to the module study guides. Because of the differences between first and second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. The second edition of our Human Body course includes the following enhanced features:

    High-quality color illustrations
    More in-depth discussions and explanations of concepts
    Online resources that explore concepts in more detail
    Greater emphasis on connecting creation to the Creator

NOTE: Although the Anatomy Coloring Book is optional, the textbook does assign activities from the coloring book.

Authors: Marilyn M. Shannon & Rachael L. Yunis
Format: Textbook with solutions manual

Recommended Grade: 12

If a student completes the entire course, including documenting in a lab notebook all of the labs, experiments, and dissections, it could be counted as an honors course.  The course provides the student with a solid background in advanced biology and is presented in a readable, conversational tone.
