Physiology of the Invertebrates (BIOL 3030) Fall 2021
The course hi-lights physiological adaptations in all the invertebrate phyla. For example, how do cephalopods like squid and cuttle fish change their body colour so rapidly? Why are jellyfish potentially lethal? How do insects osmoregulate? In the labs we examine the physiology of invertebrates with first hand experiments, looking at neuroendocrine regulation of muscle, nitrogen excretion and the function of osmoregulatory organs.
Animals (BIOL 2030) Winter 2022
