Dr Noyd A study of the structure and function of biological systems, emphasizing concepts and vocabulary essential to understanding recent advances in biology and military applications. Basic biological concepts are reinforced by laboratory investigations. Capt Ross A comparative study of the physical, anatomical, mechanical, and physiological basis for motion in a variety of model organisms. Physics and mechanical engineering concepts are applied to describe, investigate, and compare the ways organisms initiate and control movement.
Special emphasis is given to human motion and exercise.
This course addresses the integrated principles of vertebrate and invertebrate zoology. Emphasis is placed on the anatomy, physiology, embryology, systematics, and reproduction of the organisms in the various animal phyla. This course is the study of plants with a strong emphasis on the biology of seed plants. These and many other questions on how humans, machines, and the environment interact to influence the aircrew member, astronaut, and warrior s ability to fly, fight, and win will be answered. This course introduces the environment of space as it relates to life.
