Developmental Physiology Lecture

Catalog description

Provides an in-depth analysis of developmental physiology. Examples of many different animal groups will be used to convey important concepts in how animal function develops, how development is influenced by the environment, and how development in other animals can inform us about human development and disease. Covers the basics of developmental biology, the link between development, physiology and evolution, the interaction between the environment and physiology during development, phenotypic plasticity, and the development of physiological systems. BIOL 404 is dual-listed with BIOL 604 . These courses will be taught together by the same instructor. May not be taken for credit by students who received credit for: BIOL 604 , BIOL 404, or BIOL 486 -5. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 353 .
