Functional Vertebrate Morphology

In addition to providing an overview of the origin and evolution of the vertebrates the course will cover skeletal, muscular, digestive, reproductive, nervous and circulatory systems. This half credit course investigates the functional morphology of the vertebrate body through dissection of certain classic lab organisms. Students will be introduced to the anatomical and functional characteristics which allow the different vertebrate groups to make a living in different ways. A final report will allow students to investigate the comparative anatomy of a given systems in a variety of vertebrates.
