4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BL118, BL119, BL121, BL126. A study of the basic processes of plant life including photophysi- ology, nutrition, water relations, transport phenomena, growth and development, and stress physiology. The laboratory portion examines techniques and instru- ments physiologists use to study plant function. Activi- ties include tissue culture, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, radioisotope tracers, tissue printing, and bioassays.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BL121, BL126, BL201, BL202. Corequisite: BL372. A comprehensive introduction to the field of animal behavior. Topics include the hormonal and neural mechanisms that control behavior; development and evolution of behavior; and diverse topics in behav- ioral ecology, animal communication, and sociobiology.
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: BL370. Students develop observational skills and the ability to quantify behavior and design behav- ioral experiments through laboratory exercises, field trips, and an individual research project.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BL121, BL126, BL201, BL202. Corequisite:
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: BL390. Faculty and small groups of students present seminars on selected topics in conservation biology. Also, groups of students present opposing view- points on selected topics in a courtroom-like setting (environmental law). Employs computer simulations to further the understanding of theoretical models pre- sented in lecture. Possible field trips to zoological parks and research centers to see application of principles.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BL118, BL119, BL 121, BL126. An exami- nation of the mammalian endocrine system with empha- sis on humans. How do hormones operate at the molecu- lar level How do sex hormones influence fetal devel- opment to produce male or female brains Why are some environmental pollutants disrupting reproductive cycles How do some hormones alter behavior What diseases result from endocrine malfunction
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: BL401. An examination of the gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, and histology of the endocrine glands using contemporary endocrinological research meth- ods including animal surgery, radioimmunoassay, bio- assays, and individual research projects.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BL118, BL119, BL 121, BL126. An integrated examination of the mammalian nervous system with emphasis on the human brain. A review of basic neu- roanatomy and neurophysiology. Students conduct in-depth explorations of specific topics such as neuro- pathologies, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomical sex differences, aging, and the molecular and cellular bases of memory and learning. The laboratory includes an examination of histological preparations and human brain slices; discussions of primary literature and review articles; instructor presentation of special topics in neurobiology including visual, auditory, and vestibular systems; and student presentations of selected topics in neurobiology.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BL118, BL119, BL121, BL126. Patterns of development from fertilization through organ forma- tion. Topics include descriptive embryology, mecha- nisms of cellular differentiation, cellular interactions, metamorphosis, and sex determination.102 Biology
