BIO 2203 - Cell Biology

Institution:

Oklahoma City Community College

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M), Four credit hours of General Biology or higher biology course, and any college level chemistry course. 3 CREDITS Students will be introduced to the basic features of cells and methods of studying them. Emphases are on cellular chemistry, structure, functions of organelles and processes. Students will demonstrate knowledge of the mechanisms of cellular processes, energetics, reproduction and differentiation. (P) BIO 2215 GENERAL ZOOLOGY Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M), BIO 1113, BIO 1114 or CHEM 1115 with a "C" or better, an OCCC Biology Placement Test Score of 70% or better, high school AP Biology exam score of 3 or better, an ACT science score of 22 or better. 5 CREDITS General Zoology provides a systematic investigation of the major protistan and animal groups. Students will be able to discuss and correctly apply evolutionary, taxonomic, anatomical, physiological, behavioral, and ecological characteristics which exist within each of these groups. Laboratory work which requires dissection is an integral and required part of this course. GedEd Requirement (P) BIO 2224 INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M), BIO 2215 or Equivalent 4 CREDITS The student will demonstrate knowledge of invertebrate animals with relationship to their taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, life history, ecology and evolution. Laboratory work which may require dissection is an integral and required part of the course. (P) BIO 2234 HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M), One biology and one chemistry course each with a laboratory included 4 CREDITS The student will discuss major systems of the human body, contrast functional and regulatory activities of each and identify factors influencing homeostasis. Through the use of models, the student will recognize the relative influences and interrelationships between circulation, digestion, metabolism, respiration, kidney function, muscle action, endocrine and nervous control, and reproduction of other systems and the organism as a whole. Laboratory work which may require dissection is an integral and required part of the course. (P) BIO 2255 HUMAN ANATOMY Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M), BIO 2215 with a C or better, sophomore standing, and permission of Instructor 5 CREDITS The course involves the study of the development and gross morphology of the human body and its systems. This course may not be applied for Biology major credit. Open only to majors in physical education, science education, physical therapy, nursing, occupational therapy, physician's associate, dental hygiene, pharmacy, and selected fields. Laboratory dissection of human cadavers is required. (P) BIO 2324 COMPARATIVE VERTEBRATE ANATOMY Prerequisite: (R), BIO 2215 or Equivalent 4 CREDITS Through an investigation of early development, phylogeny and anatomical characteristics of various vertebrate species, the student will identify and contrast vertebrate morphology and discuss its evolutionary significance. Laboratory work which may require dissection is an integral and required part of the course.
