1. The History of Animal & Human Evolution

Animals, including humans, have a vast, complex evolutionary history. In this lesson, we will look at the evolution of animals, including invertebrates and vertebrates.

2. Embryonic Development & Life Cycles of Invertebrates & Vertebrates

In this lesson we will compare and contrast the embryonic development and life cycles of vertebrates and invertebrates. You'll learn how they are similar and how they are different, and view examples.

3. The Significance of Physiological Processes in Animals

Physiology is the study of how living organisms function. Looking at this through an organ-system view, we can see how animals evolved different ways of functioning for their particular habitats.
