PQ: BIOS 20235 and first-year standing, or consent of instructor. This course meets requirements for the biological sciences major. This course examines movement systems at multiple levels of design and function-integrating neurobiology, muscle morphology and physiology, skeletal mechanics, and the interaction of organisms with the physical environment. These topics are examined through lectures, readings from the primary literature, and labs. Lectures provide basic information on each subject and examples of recently published work. Readings complement the lectures and cover current issues in the relevant fields. Labs involve exposure to methodological approaches and work on a class research project that combines data collected with several of these techniques. M. Hale. Spring. Not offered 200 9 -10. L.
