<p>I am a pre-med intentioned student, and a junior. This semester, I am registered for a human physiology course, which a lot of schools recommend. However, a spot opened up in an Anatomy and Physiology course. Should I switch to that class, or stick with human physiology? Which one would better prepare me for medical school admissions?</p>

<p>Human Physiology is probably better ( because it emphasizes the human body)</p>
<p>Anatomy & Physiology is better. Because thats also a pre- req for Pharmacy school.
