Lectures cover the physiology of animals on a system by system basis (e.g. circulatory system, digestive system, etc.) with an emphasis on the vertebrates. Comparisons between animals within each system and adaptations to "extreme" environments are emphasized. Weekly problem sets provide practice in physiological reasoning for each system covered.

Prerequisites: BIOLOGY 100 & 101 with a grade of 'C' or better in both courses.
