BIOL-460: Developmental Biology

Subject
Credits 3.0
Academic Level
Undergraduate

This course focuses on human development from gametogenesis and fertilization to birth. The first section of the course covers developmental processes and early development of the embryo and fetus. The second section of the course emphasizes organ system development. Both sections will incorporate developmental genetics and clinical case vignettes to explain normal and abnormal development. Emphasis is placed on anatomical change with some discussion of developmental mechanisms and physiology. This in-depth look at human development and embryology will provide a better understanding of adult anatomy. Prerequisite: Successful completion (C- or better) of BIOL 310 with lab and BIOL 315 with lab. Fall.
