BIOL 235 - Embryology
Embryology is the study of anatomy from the time of fertilization through the time of birth and this knowledge is essential for understanding gross anatomy. This course will emphasize the morphological changes that occur during the development of the organ systems of the human embryo and fetus. Genetic factors that regulate development will be examined, including signaling factors and morphogenetic proteins. Attention will be given to causes, mechanisms, and patterns of normal anatomical variations and developmental disorders. This course is a “structure and function” elective for a variety of health science disciplines. Laboratory investigations of vertebrate eggs, embryos, and organ systems will emphasize the techniques critical approaches, and analytical methods of experimental embryology. Students will advance their spatial anatomical knowledge which will improve their abililty to accurately interpret modern medical radiological imaging and ultrasounds. Includes lab.
