familiarize students with the basic
framework of facts and concepts in
animal physiology. Scope: most
examples are drawn from mammals (and
other vertebrates) but some
comparative material is included.

humans. Emphasis will be placed on
nerves, muscle and sensory systems;
homeostatic physiology also
included. Organizational level
covers both cell and organ systems.
COMMENTS: BI 350 (Vertebrate
Biology) is not a prerequisite, but
it is strongly recommended before
taking BI 351.

READINGS: Schofield, INTRODUCTION
TO BRIOLCGY
DESCRIPTION: This course is devoted
to learning about mosses,
liverworts, and hernworts,
collectively known as bryophytes.
The approach will be wholiatic,
touching on tost aspects of
bryophyte biology. Special emphasis
will be pieced on knowing the
plants. Laboratory periods will be
spent learning to identify specimens
collected on field trips and
studying demonstration material.
Homework requires reading from
current literature. Project may be
gj>uinfc a reference collection.
COMMENTS: Despite the obvious
prominence of mosses in landscapes
such as Oregon's, the study of
mosses is often neglected by
biologists, expecially ecologists.
This course is designed to fill that
gap.
