Description
Understanding how animals survive and reproduce in their environments begins with exploring the foundation of organ systems. In this course, students will build foundational knowledge of how cells, tissues, and organs function together as organ systems across a diversity of taxa. We will examine how these organ systems work together to maintain animal homeostasis, and investigate how organ systems have evolved in response to unique environmental challenges. Lab experiments will compliment lecture material, allowing students to investigate how their own organ systems function and respond to the environment around them.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 120.3
Note: BIOL 121 is strongly recommended. Students with credit for any of BIOL 203, BIOL 217, BMSC 207, BMSC 208, BMSC 224, HSC 208 or PHSI 208 will not subsequently receive credit for BIOL 224. Students may receive credit for both BIOL 224 and BMSC 207 if they are taken concurrently, or if BIOL 224 is taken first. Costs in addition to tuition will apply to this course. Please contact the department for details.
