Introduction to common laboratory, domestic, and exotic mammals. Investigation of the unique adaptations of species in terms of their morphological, anatomical, and behavioral characteristics. How these species interact with their own and other species, including humans; basic evolution and the impact of habitat destruction on wild animals; diversity of the mammalian orders, along with the fundamentals of comparative anatomy, physiology and basic dissection techniques. Lectures, dissection labs, student presentations, field trip to local zoo.

COMPMED 85N: Animal Use in Biomedical Research
Preference to freshmen. How and why animals are used in biomedical science. Addresses human and animal disease entities and how animal research has contributed to the treatment and cure of disease. Significantnnportions of this course are devoted to documenting the humane care and treatment of laboratory animals in research, including, but not limited to such topics as laws and ethics, animal behavior, animal modeling, and the animal activist movement. Course topics will also include: What advances have been made as a result of the use of animals in research? Who conducts animal research? Predominant animal species used in biomedical research, facts and myths; the regulation of biomedical research; housing and care of laboratory animals; why new drugs must be tested; animal use in stem cell research, cancer research and genetically engineered mice; career choices in biomedical research.
