BIO 392: Mammalian Physiology

Explore stromatolites, the oldest indicators of life on Earth formed by microbial actions. Understand their presence in shallow marine environments and their connection to early eukaryotic life.

Explore the vital roles of pharyngeal slits in lancelets and tunicates. Learn how these clefts aid in filter-feeding, capturing food particles, and evolve through different life stages.

Learn how bioremediation works to treat contaminated environments and how microbes can help clean up pollutants. We evaluate multiple scenarios zeroing in on oil-degrading bacteria as a prime example of the process.

This video provides a comprehensive explanation of mucous and serous membranes, defining their characteristics and addressing statements about their epithelial types, functions, and exceptions.

Discover the unique adaptations of C4 and CAM plants in photosynthesis. Understand their evolved strategies to fix carbon efficiently in challenging environments. Dive into nature's remarkable mechanisms of survival and adaptation.

Explore the spectrum of movement in joints, from immovable synarthrotic to freely movable diarthrotic. Understand how these classifications correspond to fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joint types.
