| Microscopic structure and its relationship to physiological function among the basic tissue types and in selected organ systems. Focus includes levels of biological organization from subcellular to organismal, with emphasis on humans and other mammals. Special consideration is given to the organization and function of integrating systems, including glandular, vascular, and neural, and to the molecular structure of, and functional integration among, cellular junctions and transport mechanisms, cytoskeletal components, and extracellular matrices. Opportunities for participation in experimental or other investigative projects are available. Four laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C- in BIOL 204 |
