  • BIO 324: Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy

    3.00 Credits
    Albright College

    Emphasis is on understanding the functional and comparative anatomy of the vertebrates through exploration of vertebrate structure and function from an evolutionary perspective. Protochordates, lamprey eel, shark, mudpuppy, and cat are dissected to compare the basic architectural patterns of vertebrate systems and to discover ways in which existing structural patterns are modifications of ancestral patterns. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Offered spring semester of odd years. Prerequisite: BIO 201

  • BIO 330: Vertebrate Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    Albright College

    Emphasis on the basic principles of physiology and applications of these concepts in representative animals from different phylogenetic groups. Provides a basic background in many areas of physiology, with select systems examined in considerable detail to provide students with a basis for understanding mechanisms common to many vertebrate systems. Laboratories involve use of physiological instrumentation and computer simulations designed to examine some basic principles of physiology, specific functions of major organ systems, and the physiological mechanisms by which some organisms are adapted to live in specific environments. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Offered fall semester. Prerequisites: BIO 201, CHE 106

  • BIO 332: Cell Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Albright College

    An investigation into the many aspects of cell structure and function, including the importance of proteins and other macromolecules encountered within cells, as well as specific cellular organelles. Intracellularsorting, protein targeting and signal transduction are examined, along with the mechanisms involved in cancer and programmed cell death. Laboratory exercises introduce students to sterile cell culture techniques and the skills involved in establishing and manipulating plant and animal cell cultures. Flourescent and scanning Electron Microscopy, SDS PAGE and other techniques will be learned. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Offered spring semester.
