3.00 Credits
3 credits More kinds of organisms are alive today than at any other single time in the entire history of the Earth. Yet, there is a pressing problem of how to conserve this remarkable biodiversity in the face of the seemingly inex orable growth of human population. We will explore the five kingdoms of living organisms, the major earth biomes (such as the tropical rain forest), and some basic ecology to aid in understanding the relationship of living organisms in their environment. We will then cover the concept of biodi versity conservation; including its origins, philosophy and real-world application. Offered: Winter.

3 credits This course will cover the structure and function of the human brain and associated elements of the human nervous system. Topics will include in-depth study of neural signaling, sensory input, and motor output, mod ification of neural circuits and complex brain functions. There will also be a focus on neurological disorders and disease. This course is designed to allow for interdisciplinary enrollment and is suitable for any student inter ested in the health professions or work with the neurologically disabled. Offered: Upon demand.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Human Anatomy is a one semester course offered as a complement to human physiology. This course will offer an in-depth examination of both the gross and cellular anatomy for each physiological system that comprises the human body. Integration of the system anatomy into the biophysics of the whole human will be stressed. Classes will consist of lec ture, laboratory visuals, and virtual reality dissection of a human cadaver. Multiple models of the human anatomy will be utilized to assist with hands-on study of anatomical features. One laboratory period per week. Prerequisites: BIO 1001A, 1002A, 1003A and 1004A, or permission of the instructor; a grade of C- or better is required in Introductory Biology courses to take all upper-level biology courses. Offered: Summer.
