BIOL 100: Human Biology

Discover how humans adapt to cold environments through thermoregulation processes. Understand the body's heat conservation and generation mechanisms. Learn why certain physiological responses occur in cold conditions.

Discover the intricacies of hyperventilation, its impact on the body's CO2 levels, and the resulting respiratory alkalosis. Understand the triggers, physiological implications, and how controlled breathing and meditation can help manage this condition.

Discover the concept of adaptation in this video, where we evaluate four scenarios to determine which represents a heritable trait enhancing an organism's survival in its environment. Learn how the webbed feet of a duck exemplify a true adaptation, enabling it to thrive in its habitat.

Discover the debate between Intelligent Design (ID) and evolutionary science as they clash over the complexity of biochemical pathways in nature. Explore the concept of guided vs. unguided evolution and how diverse pathways challenge the ID perspective.

Explore the composition of the diaphysis in long bones. Learn about the significance of compact bone in providing strength and differentiating it from other bone components.

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.
