    Description
    This course gives an overview of animal diversity, structure, and function, with an emphasis on mammalian anatomy and physiology. It is intended as part of a year-long sequence for science majors, along with BIO 101 (a prerequisite) and BIO 102. Topics include: survey of the diversity of protist and animal kingdoms; introduction to mammalian anatomy and physiology, including digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, nervous, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Laboratory time focuses on diversity of the animal kingdom and fetal pig dissection with emphasis on the organ systems.
