  Sponsor:   Stanford University

  Date:   Tuesday, April 4, 2000

  Time:   11am - 12:15pm

  Location:   Bldg. 60, Room 61A [look for it in a campus map]

The class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 to 12:15 beginning Tuesday
April 4th and ending Tuesday, May 30th.

Instructor:  Brent Constantz, Ph.D.

This class is for anyone with interest in orthopaedics, tissues engineering,
and pathological calcification.  The process of formation and adaptation of
mineralized structures formed by organisms, principally animal skeletons, are
considered. Emphasis is placed on the interacting influences of phylogenic
history, material constraints, mechanical factors and other ecological and
physiological considerations. Skeletal formation processes and the skeletal
microstructure and ultrastructure of every animal phylum are presented in
sequence. Macroevolutionary aspects of body plan design among the major
skeletonized animal phyla are considered. Undergraduate and graduate
students. 2 units, Spr (Constantz)
