INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL SCIENCES LABORATORY

ANSCI/DYSCI 931

Discussion of literature that has a bearing on animal nutrition. Students are to survey the literature and present a seminar.

ANSCI/DYSCI 373

Covers physiological processes that regulate the body and the anatomy and function of different physiological systems. Includes interactions between organ systems, analysis of a single organ system from the molecular to the organismal, and comparisons and contrasts of organ systems among different domestic animal species.

ANSCI 377

Provides immersive, hands-on training in large animal procedural and surgical techniques to develop knowledge and appreciation for the interconnectivity and interdependence between physiological processes of the various organ systems. Serves as an introduction to translatable skills for careers in biomedical animal research, veterinary medicine, or human medicine.

BIOLOGY/ZOOLOGY 102

General concepts of animal biology at an introductory level emphasizing the evolutionary relationships between animals. Learn about general body plans and strategies used to accomplish the basic tasks of staying alive in major animal groups using preserved and live animals. Study the diversity within each group of animals by integrating the body plans with the lifestyle and ecology of animals. Dissections of earthworm, freshwater mussel, squid, sea star, and rat aid the study of these general principles.

ANSCI/DYSCI 101

An overview of animal sciences covering anatomy, physiology, nutrition, reproduction, genetics, management, animal welfare, and behavior of domesticated animals. Food animals are emphasized to discuss their contributions to humans.
