Comparative
Anatomy

   
   
   

  In this course we investigate the function, form and evolution of various anatomical systems found in chordates. Such anatomical systems include skeletal, respiratory, muscular, circulatory, digestive and nervous systems. The course includes a lab, where we will get a hands-on look at the anatomy of a shark, mudpuppy, cat, perch, lamprey and tunicate.
    Course information, including syllabus, lecture schedule, lecture slides and .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) files of the slide presentations.
  Lab information, including lab schedule and all lab terms.
