BIO 3420 - Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy

Hours: 5
Students will examine vertebrate structures in an evolutionary framework that will facilitate an understanding of how these structures function within living animals. We will discuss, compare and contrast the structure and function of the following organ systems among different vertebrates: integument, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, urogenital, endocrine, and nervous systems. Laboratories include dissections of various vertebrates and also model building of different anatomical structures.
Prerequisites: BIO 2010 with a minimum grade of C-; or instructor permission.
