Emphasized are biological nature of man, healthful living, occupational and recreational conditions, environmental pollution and public health organizations and functions. Lecture 3 cr. hrs., Lab. 1 cr. hr. Prerequisite: BIOL 103 and 104 or BIOL 113 and 114.
-
4.00 Credits
Provides a field and laboratory survey of marine animals of the LA Gulf Coast, including classification, morphology, physiology and ecology. Prerequisites: 8 semester hours undergraduate credit. Offered summer only. Five weeks at a Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) coastal laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
Examines the principles of heredity, classical, molecular and quantitative genetics and chromosome structure. Modern, cell, and population genetics, mutation and selection; microbial genetics non-chromosomal inheritance and probability. Lecture 3 cr. hrs.; Lab 1 cr. hr. BIOL 113, 114 or BIOL 103 and 104 and CHEM 111 and 112 with corresponding laboratory are prerequisites.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course examining the organization of the human body. The course will survey the major organ systems of the body (integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive). The laboratory component of the course includes a detailed study of the human skeletal, muscular, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. In terms of instructional methodology, the laboratory will be taught using models, diagrams, multimedia and interactive computer simulations. This course is intended for non-science majors and therefore cannot be used to satisfy degree requirements for biology majors. Three hours of lecture and 2 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 103 or Biology 104
-
4.00 Credits
Studies the chemical, biological and cultural characteristics of microorganisms. Topics include microbial taxonomy, structure, metabolism, genetics, ecology, the role of microbes in disease, immunity, and the applications of microbes in industry. Lecture 3 cr. hrs., Lab 1 cr. hr. Prerequisites: BIOL 103 and 104 or BIOL 113 and 114; CHEM 111, 112, or BIOL 207, 208 with corresponding laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
Surveys anatomical terminology, tissues, and the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. Laboratories that include microscopy, physiological exercises, and mammalian dissections compliment lecture discussions. Lecture 3 cr. hrs., Lab. 1 cr. hr. Prerequisites: BIOL 103 and 104 or BIOL 113 and 114.
-
4.00 Credits
Presents methods of preparing biological material for microscopic study. Practice in fixing, embedding, staining and mounting various tissues. Histology and cytology are considered. Three two-hour laboratory periods per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 103 and 104 or BIOL 113 and 114; CHEM 111 and 112 with laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Biology 305 which focuses on the following: peripheral nervous system, special senses, endocrine system, immunity, digestive system, urinary system, and reproductive system. Laboratories that include microscopy, physiological exercises, human system models, and mammalian dissections complement lecture discussions. Lect. 3 cr. hrs; Lab. 1 cr. hr.
-
3.00 Credits
This course discusses potentially harmful or lethal effects of contaminants released into the environment by agricultural, domestic and industrial applications. The mechanisms by which a toxicant exerts its deleterious effects on body systems will be examined, and the health advisories/guidelines from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease will be indentified. Pre-requisites: BIOL 113, BIOL 114, CHEM 111, CHEM 112 with laboratories.
-
4.00 Credits
Concepts of the human immune system, structure and function of the organs and cells that comprise the immune system, and clinical immunological tests emphasized. Lab exercises emphasize the basics of antibody reactions and their applications to clinical diagnostic testing. Lecture 3 credit hours and laboratory 1 credit hour.
