Credit(s): 3

INSECT ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Component: Lecture
Examines morphological and physiological adaptations of insects from an evolutionary perspective. Includes the functional anatomy of insects (both internal and external) and how organ systems carry out their physiological tasks. Considers the insect “groundplan” (in comparison to other arthropods), and reviews all the major organ systems, their functions, and how they carry out these functions.
