Focuses on the fundamental concepts and mechanisms that regulate important structural and functional properties of human organ systems. This course is concerned with the normal function of the intact organism with an emphasis placed on musculoskeletal and neuroendocrine function. Laboratory course. Prerequisites: BIOL 150 and CHEM 100 or equivalent or consent of instructor

A survey of the major phyla, classes, and orders of animals, with emphasis on basic body plans and organization, development, phylogenetic relationships, and the structure and function of representative organ systems. Laboratory course. Prerequisite: BIOL 150

An introduction to the mechanical principles that can be applied to vertebrate musculoskeletal systems and their movements. The anatomies of vertebrate skeletal and muscular systems will be reviewed. In addition, the mechanics of tissues in the musculoskeletal system will be introduced and applied to vertebrate movements and human exercise prescription and injury. Prerequisite: BIOL 205 or 220
