BIOL 210: Anatomy & Physiology I

Uncover the key roles of the cerebral cortex, from cognition and memory to emotional regulation. Compare its functions to those of the hypothalamus, particularly regarding circadian rhythms. Get the answer to what the cerebral cortex doesn't govern.

Explore the critical role of phospholipids in forming cell membranes across various organisms. Understand their unique amphipathic properties and their influence on cellular processes, from transport to signaling.

Grasp the fundamentals of how neurons transmit electrical signals through action potentials. Understand the crucial role of myelination and fiber diameter in efficient nerve impulse conduction. Dive into the comparisons of different nerve fiber types and their properties.

Explore the pivotal role of enhancers in gene expression as we dissect their function and interaction with transcription factors. Gain insights into how they crucially influence the transcriptional control of genes.

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

Learn about mouse genetics and the implications of dominant and recessive genes on coat color. We'll use a Punnett square to predict offspring coat patterns by crossing two heterozygous mice. Learn how phenotype ratios like 9 Agouti: 4 white: 3 black help us understand genetic outcomes.
