Introduction to Comparative Anatomy and Physiology, Individualized Instruction
This course is an introductory comparative anatomy and physiology course designed primarily for first- and second-year life science students. The course focuses on the understanding of how different biological organisms (animals, plants, microbes, fungi) perform common physiological functions, focusing on relationship between structure and function and environmental adaptations. The course is based on individualized instruction and offers flexibility in scheduling. Completion of the course requires mastery of a set of core units. Four formal laboratory sessions are offered with additional laboratory work incorporated into the core units.
Topics
- Identify the underlying principles shared by physiological systems, at the molecular, cellular, and systems levels and relate these principles to the physical and thermodynamic laws that influence organismal design| 2- Recognize the diversity of physiological systems and correlate the interactions of these systems with anatomical structure.
- Utilize critical thinking and analytical skills when addressing physiological issues to explain organisms' adaptations to their environments.
- Orally communicate complex ideas in direct and organized manner.
