BI 359
Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy
A study of the major organs and systems of vertebrates from an evolutionary perspective. The
understanding of structure is developed through study of the relationships to function and the
variation that occurs across animal groups. Laboratory work emphasizes the dissection and detailed
identification of structures in a number of vertebrate models including those from both aquatic and
terrestrial environments.
Prerequisites: BI256
