BIOL 4500 - Comparative Vertebrate Physiology

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Biology

Description:

Fulfills a physiology elective for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology degree. Covers physiological adaptations of vertebrates, including general functions of each organ system and enlightening examples of specific adaptations in those systems in certain taxa. Successful completers will demonstrate a thorough, broad understanding of how vertebrate organisms accomplish the necessary tasks of regulating the internal environment in a variety of ways. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Explain the normal functions of the major body systems of vertebrates. 2. Describe common disorders of vertebrate systems, and the biochemistry underlying these disorders. 3. Explain the fundamental importance of heat, water availability, and body size in the evolution of vertebrates. 4. Apply knowledge gained in the course to human physiology where appropriate. Prerequisites: BIOL 3010, BIOL 3030 and CHEM 1220 (Grade C or higher). Corequisite: BIOL 4505. FA
