Course Description
The first of a two-course sequence examining the structure and function of specific biological systems in vertebrate organisms, with a particular focus on mammals. Includes an overview of the evolution of organs and organ systems, system function at a biochemical and biophysical level, and the regulation and integration of multiple physiological systems within the whole organism. Primary focus will be on the integumentary system, the musculoskeletal system and the central nervous system. Laboratory will include the exploration of the dynamic function and regulation of human physiological systems and the study of anatomy through the use of interactive digital resources in conjunction with dissection of animal specimens. Prerequisites: BIOL 160 and CHEM 160; prerequisite or co-requisite: BIOL 250 or permission of the instructor. Co-requisite: BIOL 256L. Offered every fall semester.
