Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite, BIOL 204. This course presents aspects of modern physiology with a strong emphasis on the diverse ways physiological challenges are handled by different animals. Small emphasis (yet significant) is place on the ecology, and evolutionary biology aspects of physiology. The course is committed to a comparative approach throughout. While mammalian physiology is consistently treated in depth, emphasis is also given to the other vertebrate groups, arthropods, molluscs, and as appropriate-additional invertebrates. Concepts and integrative themes are emphasized while giving students the specifics consistent with our biological sciences program at Chapman University. (Offered fall semester.) 4 credits.
