Do classes that are like anatomy and physiology that are offered in my school's KINE department, but not BIOS get factored into the calculation of BCPM. What about other classes offered in the HEAL (health sciences) department?

Yes and Yes

Where does it say this?

See page 53-64 of the AMCAS instruction booklet. My interpretation is that the courses would not be BCPM as they have a course title for kinesiology, which is specifically excluded under "Health Sciences". It is possible to send AMCAS a course description and try to get is counted under BCPM if you want to: http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/amcas2009instructionmanual072808.pdf

I saw that, but it also lists anatomy under BIOL
