2. Course Description
This section of the course provides an introduction to the field of Zoology. It includes numerous vertebrate and
invertebrate species in its survey of the animal kingdom. The major animal phyla's taxonomy, behavior, and systematics will be
analyzed, with a focus on the functional anatomy of the major animal classes. Although humans are used in some examples, the
course's focus is on other animals and zoology in general, as there is a course that focuses solely on humans. This course is an
excellent preparation for Human Anatomy and Physiology. It is therefore strongly advised that the student complete this course
before enrolling in ZO321 – Human Anatomy and Physiology.
