Course continues studies of the human endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Case history discussions of various illnesses help to reinforce anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology inter-relationship among organ systems. Laboratory sessions are designed to reinforce lecture concepts using dissection, models, and interactive electrophysiology equipment. In addition, students design and perform course material based projects.

This course is designed for students who wish to study advanced techniques in biological topics that are not available in the formal course offerings of the department. The techniques to be offered will vary over time and will cover theory, methods and applications of specific modern methods and techniques. Topics are covered through hands-on applications, classroom lectures and student projects and presentations. This course may be repeated as techniques change. Topics will change by semester but may include: field biology techniques, museum methodologies, cell/molecular techniques and others.
MUSEUM SPECIMEN PREPARATION: This class will introduce students to museum preservation techniques while preparing specimens of dead stranded cetaceans and seals for the Biological Sciences collection. Students will review museum techniques including bone cleaning, degreasing, methods of articulation for display, and methods used to strengthen weak and brittle bones. Students will gain extensive knowledge of marine mammals skeletal anatomy and will take 1 or 2 field trips to museums and field stations. Priority will be given to students who have taken BIO 252 Nature History of Marine Mammals or BIO 355 Biology of Marine Mammals. Enrollment by consent of instructor only.
