    anatomy and physiology, ecological principles, genetics and issues related to
    genetic engineering, bacteria and viruses, systems of animals, and human
    biology with the fetal pig as the vertebrate model. It considers taxonomy as
    a method of organizing the diverse forms of organisms on this Earth.
