Animal Sciences

Molecular Biology Techniques

Demonstrates the applications of molecular biology by involving the students in a real time research project. Students will perform experiments using molecular biology techniques in the context of a muscle protein functionality study. Prereq: Grad standing, or permission of instructor.

Animal Physiology I

This course will explore the physiology of neuronal, muscular, endocrine, & reproductive tissues at systemic, cellular, & molecular levels with a focus on domestic mammals. Human physiology will be presented at times to expand upon limited information available for animals. Prereq: Grad standing, or permission of instructor.

Oral Research Communication

Critical analysis of the scientific literature and demonstration of effective oral presentation skills tailored to the target audience, with use of information technologies as needed. Prereq: Grad standing. Not open to students with credit for FdScTe 7899 or HumnNtr 7899 (895). Cross-listed in FdScTe and HumnNtr.

Vitamin and Mineral Metabolism

Biochemical functions, absorptions, transport, utilization, interrelationships and nutritional requirements of selective vitamins and minerals in higher vertebrates and humans. Prereq: Coursework in Biochemistry or Vertebrate Physiology. Not open to students with credit for FdScTe 7762 or HumnNtr 7762. Cross-listed in FdScTe or HumnNtr.

Macronutrient Metabolism

In-depth treatment of digestion, absorption, transport, and utilization of dietary carbohydrates and fat for energy production and fat deposition in humans and other higher animals. Prereq: 3130 (330), HumnNtr 2310 (310), or Biochem 4511 (511). Not open to students with credit for 761, 762, HumnNtr 7761 (761 and 762), or FdScTe 7761 (761 and 762). Cross-listed in FdScTe and HumnNtr.

Endocrinology

Functional principles of the major endocrine systems in vertebrates and preparation for research in this area. Prereq: Biochem 4511, or permission of instructor. Not open to students with credit for Kinesio 7730. Cross-listed in Kinesio.

Animal Growth and Development

Addresses the advanced principles of animal growth and development as the food animal industries continue to emphasize more efficient growth rates and acceptable meat quality. Specific information will be focused on the structure and function of muscle, bone, and adipose tissues, and the interaction among nutrition, hormones, exercise, heredity and disease. Prereq: 3100, 3105, or permission of instructor.
