		This section concludes with an evaluation of vertebrate sense organs in different classes and a detailed study of sensory systems responsible for vision and smell.
		The lectures close with an analysis of the vertebrate neuroendocrine system, focusing on the evolution of endocrine systems, and the roles of of hypothalamus and pituitary in their regulation.
		The other practical classes involve 'hands-on' structure-function studies (dissections) of two vertebrate 'types' - aquatic vertebrate (dogfish) and terrestrial mammalian model (mouse), and the dissections are linked to interpretation of the functioning of the heart and anterior circulatory system via diagrams illustrating system function.

		Also, vertebrates tend to be larger and more intelligent than invertebrates, and thus they are more likely to be seen, and more likely to be doing something interesting.
		The vertebrates as a group are recognized by the presence of a backbone.
		Since there are far fewer vertebrates than invertebrates, we will be able to spend more time this semester on the mechanisms of evolution and on such processes as body temperature regulation and development, and less time on pure taxonomy.

		The other major land-dwelling vertebrate groups derived from the reptiles, the birds and the mammals, also made their first appearance in the fossil record during the Mesozoic Era.

	Bulletin
		Upper division electives may be chosen from one of four emphases: general zoology, vertebrate zoology, entomology, or animal behavior.
		It is recommended that no matter which of the emphases a student selects, that a background in both vertebrate and invertebrate biology be obtained through selection of appropriate elective courses; e.g., students electing an emphasis in vertebrate zoology should also take course work in invertebrate zoology or entomology.
		The areas of emphasis in this program are: ecology, systematics, behavior, and evolution as related to the areas of biology, botany, mycology, and zoology; community, population, reproductive, behavioral, physiological, and evolutionary ecology; taxonomy, biodiversity, and biogeography; classical and molecular systematics.
