  • BI 301: Marine Organism Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    Maine Maritime Academy

    Physiology examines the processes of cells, tissues, and organ systems. This course is designed to allow an understanding of how physiological processes relate to how organisms function in their environment. We will utilize three primary approaches: (1) structure/function studies examining how the morphology of a system relates to function, (2) comparative discussions contrasting the mechanisms by which marine plants and animals are adapted to life in the marine environment, and (3) evolutionary comparisons of how different organ systems have evolved within and throughout marine taxa. Prerequisite: Bi-102. Rec. 3, Lab 3, Cr. 4.
