For pharmacy schools in general i know i have to take anatomy with lab and physiology with lab.

i have only taken physiology course (no lab) so far
(i go to UC and i have only taken NPB101 if anyone here goes to Univ California..)

So, just to be safe to meet pre-req for most pharmacy schools,

should i take just physiology lab (since i took physiology course already) and just human anatomy class with lab?

is human anatomy class same as human anatomy and physiology class?

As far as I know AP are two classes. AP1 and AP2 both have labs.
 
Some colleges offer the two combined or will allow you to take them together though.
 
Some schools require them to be separate. Email them to check
 
Some schools don't require lab! I don't have any labs, but because I'm a biology major with other upper division science courses they said they would waive them. E-mail the school to find out for sure. I would say I had a list of about 10 schools that I actually wanted to go to and said they would waive my labs. (I'm only applying to 5 of them, just saying there are a few schools that don't need them!)

It is best to take corresponding labs if you have the opportunity. This holds true for pharmacy school and your future in general.

Some schools have dumb anatomy and physiology programs, such as mine. I go to a state university, and the anatomy and physiology labs are there own class and completely unrelated to the lecture class. Instead of taking a lab, I chose to take classes that the pharmacy school offers for undergrads.

wow your case seems jacked up. Yes you really want to keep Lab part of physiology. I've never seen any schools 'not' requiring A/P..some schools do not require lab but it's not a lot..
If I were you, I would definitely call each individual school and ask this. Hope this helps.
