This course focuses on understanding the similarities and differences in the anatomical structures of vertebrates. Emphasis will be given to the human body’s form and function with comparison to that of other vertebrates in an evolutionary and environmental context. These connections will be demonstrated through dissection of representative vertebrate specimens in conjunction with human models. The following topics will be discussed: tissues and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urogenital, endocrine, and nervous systems. Prerequisites: Successful completion (C- or better) of BIOL 111 and 112 with labs and CHEM 111 and 112 with labs. Co-requisite: BIOL 310 lecture, 3 credit hours. Fall.
