BIO 106: Zoology Lab

Learn about muscle fascicle patterns and their role in human anatomy. Our video zeroes in on the convergent pattern found in the pectoralis major. Compare this with other muscle types like the biceps brachii and gluteus maximus to deepen your anatomical knowledge.

Discover the unique characteristics of the Mammalia class, with a focus on humans. Understand the critical role of molecular oxygen in our survival and the consequences of its absence. Learn how oxygen stands out among other vital factors like food, water, and nitrogen.

Learn about the role of Erythropoietin (EPO), a natural kidney hormone, in controlling red blood cell production and oxygen transport. Discover how athletes misuse synthetic EPO for performance enhancement, despite the associated health risks.

This video explores the distinction between innate and learned behaviors in animals. Innate behaviors are inborn and instinctive, while learned behaviors develop through experiences and observations, allowing animals to adapt to their environment and enhance their chances of survival.
