  • BIOL 3820: Vertebrate Zoology

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    The study of the chordates with emphasis on the vertebrates in their evolutionary development from the lower to the higher forms. In addition, a careful study of the basic and important structures of each class of vertebrates, their functions, life histories and natural histories (special adaptations and habits, origin and development) will be considered.

  • BIOL 3835: Plant Physiology

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    This course will examine and explore the link between the form and function in plants. Plant Physiologists are people interested in learning about what plants do, and what chemical and physical factors cause plants to respond as they do in their environment. This course will explore several important processes which allow plants to survive in their environment and we will examine the ecological implications of the physiological processes under investigation. We will primarily examine this relationship at the whole organism level. Laboratory experiments will reinforce the lecture topics.

  • BIOL 4270: Endocrinology

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    This course is designed to provide a broad overview of vertebrate endocrinology, which is the study of the endocrine system and hormone production. Hormones have a role in most physiologic functions, from energy availability to reproduction and behavior. Their signaling is complex and fascinating. In addition to the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas or reproductive organs, tissues including the heart, kidney, liver, skin, fat, bone and brain also have endocrine functions. This course will explore the anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of the endocrine systems and the pathophysiology of endocrine disorders. the course will also introduce principles of clinical diagnosis and management of endocrine abnormalities. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours per week.
