Advanced Courses in Animal Systems
These courses emphasize comparative structure, function, and development in animals.

Human anatomy/physiology courses employ human cadavers prepared by advanced students and faculty.

Course	Title	Credits	Professor	Description
Bi324/5	Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy	4	Dr. LeMaster	A comparative analysis of vertebrate morphology, emphasizing the study of organs and organ systems, and an introduction to the taxonomy, evolution and functional morphology of the vertebrates. Two lectures, two three hour laboratory periods. Prerequisite: Bi 213 or consent of instructor. Offered alternate years.
Bi326	Vertebrate Embryology	4	Dr. Turner	Development of the vertebrate body from fertilization through organogenesis; includes analyses of selected problems in morphogenesis, differentiation and growth. Two lectures, two three hour laboratory periods. Prerequisite: Bi 213 or consent of instructor.
Bi334/5	Human Anatomy and Physiology	4	Dr. LeMaster Dr. Galvan	The study of the gross anatomy and physiology of the human body. The course uses lecture and human cadaver laboratories.  Bi334 covers metabolism, membrane transport, cellular communication, nervous system, sensory system, endocrine control, muscle physiology.  Bi335 covers blood and circulatory system, excretory system, digestive system, male and female reproductive system and human development, lymphoid system, and immune defense mechanisms.   Pre-requisites:  Bi102 and 103 OR Bi212
Bi336	Human Histology	4	Dr. Galvan	The study of the microscopic anatomy of the human body integrated with the functions of cells tissues, and organs. Two lectures and two three-hour laboratories.   Pre-requisites:  Bi102 and 103 OR Bi212
Bi424/524	Human Dissection	Varies	Dr. LeMaster	A study of the gross anatomy of the human body through the dissection of a cadaver. The exact number of credits will be negotiated on the basis of student goals. Prerequisites for Bi424: upper division standing and permission of instructor.  Pre-requisites for Bi524: graduate standing and permission of instructor.
Bi434	Comparative Animal Physiology	4	Dr. Galvan	An introductory course designed to acquaint the student with the principles of body function in selected animals. The topics covered include cell, organ and total body function and chemical composition. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of homeostasis. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: Bi 212 or consent of instructor.
Bi451	Invertebrate Zoology	2-5	Dr. Haberman	A systematic study of invertebrates, with a comparative approach to functional morphology, physiology, behaviour, life history, and evolution. Observation of living marine invertebrates in emphasized in the lab. Course includes field trips to the coast. Prerequisite: Bi 213 or consent of instructor.
Bi474	Entomology	2-5	Dr. Haberman	Survey of the insect orders including a study of selected aspects of their morphology, life history, physiology and ecology. Some consideration of related arthropods. Two lectures, two three-hour laboratory periods. Prerequisites: Bi213 or consent of instructor.
