BIOL 205(S) Physiology
This course examines principles, patterns, and mechanisms of biological function from the level of cells and tissues to the whole organism. Emphasis is placed on relationships between structure and function, mechanisms of regulation, control and integration, and adaptation to the environment. The primary focus is on vertebrate systems, but non-vertebrates are also considered. Laboratories provide practical experience in measurement and experimental elucidation of physiological phenomena and functional analysis of gross structure. Evaluation will be based on tests, lab reports, practicals, and a final exam. Prerequisites: Biology 101 and 102. Satisfies distribution requirement in major.
