BIO 370: Vertebrate Zoology

Explore the intricate layers of organization in the human body. From molecules to the complete organism, understand the sequential formation of our biological structure. Uncover the reasons behind incorrect hierarchical interpretations.

Discover the body's innate ability to adapt to extreme cold conditions. Learn how the brain orchestrates warming responses like shivering. Grasp the concept of homeostasis in maintaining internal stability.

Discover the mechanics of voltage-gated Na+ channels and their role in neuron activity. This video breaks down key neuronal terms like resting potential and threshold to explain precisely when these channels open. You'll come away understanding that voltage-gated Na+ channels open at the threshold state initiating an action potential.

Discover the complex roles of osteogenic cells and their differentiation into bone-related cell types like osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and more. This video will also reveal the surprising origin of osteoclasts, setting them apart from their bone cell counterparts.

Discover what sets muscle cells apart from nerve cells in the complex world of cellular biology. Our video zeroes in on gene expression explaining how it's the key difference between these two cell types. Equip yourself with the knowledge to better understand cellular function and diversity.

Explore the influence of atmospheric pressure in our body's functions, particularly its essential role in pulmonary ventilation or the breathing process.
