Anatomy and Physiology; a class dedicated to studying the human body, its structures and how it works. Around 40 students either juniors or seniors are enrolled in the class at West Salem High School taught by long time educator, Wayne Sackett.

Recently Sackett has begun teaching the skeletal system which included a lengthy process of students building their own skeleton and labeling all the bones and being able to know what they do. With a total of 200 bones to memorize and eventually adding muscles to the skeleton it takes a lot of effort on behalf of the students.

“This is an annual thing, but has changed over the years overall the project is pretty set on what I expect,” said Sackett. “The assessment will be the lab exam that they take next week, we’ll see if the project was a success after the taking of that” added Sackett.

Anatomy and Physiology students have been hard at work trying to complete their skeletons all while studying and remembering what each bone and muscle do. With semester coming to an end, students are anticipating to see how all their hard work has paid off.
