• BIO 230: TAX OF VASCU PLANTS

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course covers the distinguishing features and economic importance of the principle groups of vascular plants. It also covers terminology associated with systematic botany, the historical development of systematic botany including different systems of plant classification, and provides students with practical experience in the identification of selected vascular plants of the region. Each student is required to preserve, mount, and identify a collection of plants. Some of the required field trips may require additional out-of-class time. A one day or overnight weekend field trip may be required in this class.

• BIO 235: GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY

  4.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course provides an integrated study of struch1re and function within the Animal Kingdom. Comparisons will examine differences in structure and regulation with consideration for cellular and molecular physiology, but with an emphasis on the integration of physiological systems at the level of tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Major body systems including muscular, nervous, endocrine, urinary, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive will be examined under normal conditions, and in response to stressors and disease to understand function and regulation in the pursuit of homeostasis.
