BIO211COELOMATE INVERTEBRATES

BIO211 – Coelomate Invertebrates covers invertebrates with a true coelom, such as annelids, arthropods, echinoderms, and mollusks. The course explores their internal and external anatomy, reproductive and circulatory systems, sensory structures, and locomotion mechanisms. It also emphasizes phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary adaptations.

Hands-on practicals allow students to study representative organisms and their unique characteristics. Through comparative studies, students gain an appreciation for the complexity and versatility of coelomate invertebrates, and the ecological roles they play. This course is especially useful for students pursuing careers in environmental biology, parasitology, and comparative physiology.
