Nonmajor graduate credit. Biological organization and function at the cellular level. Emphasis on biomembranes. Nonmajor graduate credit. Principles of multicellular development, from gametogenesis and fertilization through reproductive maturity.
Emphasis is placed on understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern developmental processes.
Experiments and explorations illustrating fundamental principles of multicellular development. Chemical integration of vertebrate organisms. The structure, development, and evolution of the endocrine glands and the function and structure of their hormones. Laboratory techniques for studying hormonal phenomena. Laboratory experiments require animal surgery and involvement outside of scheduled class time.
