BIOL 316 Anatomy and Physiology II
This course is the second of a two semester sequence in both the anatomy and physiology of vertebrates, with a special focus on human structures and processes. We will also thoroughly explore the anatomy and physiology of tissues, embryonic development, and anatomy and physiology of the sensory, endocrine, circulatory, immune, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems. Special attention will be given to the maintenance of homeostasis within and among body systems. The evolutionary origins of specific anatomical and physiological features will be presented to provide you a better understanding of why things function the way they do and how structures obtained their current function and position in the human organism. Laboratory sessions will focus on physical comparison of body systems across taxa, including appropriate representative organisms and models as a proxy for humans. In lab we will telescope from a microscopic to an organismal level. This course is part of the organismal biology track.
