-
4.00 Credits
A one-semester course in which students study the structure, physiology and genetics of microorganisms. The use of microorganisms as a genetic model and in biotechnology is also stressed. Students explore the relationship between microbes and man, microbial diversity, immunology, antibiotics and industrial applications of microbiology. The lab component of the course focuses on aseptic technique, staining, differentiation and classification of microorganisms, and environmental factors that influence growth. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 270.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to terminology and broad concepts emphasizing definitions and relations of antigens and antibodies, host-antigen interactions, bursal and thymic influences on lymphoid cells, and humoral and cellular response mechanisms. Two hours lecture. Prerequisite: BIOL 332 or consent.
-
4.00 Credits
Examination of developmental events at cellular, subcellular and molecular levels, including patterns and forms of development in both animals and plants, from cells to organisms. The laboratory emphasizes developmental processes in plants and animals and includes a long-term project. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 115, BIOL 350 OR BIOL 212, CHEM 111.
-
3.00 Credits
In-depth study of eukaryotic cells, including structure and function of membranes and organelles, bioenergetics, photosynthesis, the cytoskeleton, cellular movement and chemical signals. Three hours lecture. Prerequisite: BIOL 270.
-
4.00 Credits
Evolution is the study of changes in populations and species over time. This course will examine natural and sexual selection (forces that adapt organisms to their environment) as well as genetic drift (random changes in gene pools). It will explore evidence for evolution from fields as diverse as paleontology, comparative anatomy and molecular biology. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 270.
-
1.00 Credits
Focuses on communication in science including methods of presentation such as poster, oral and written formats. Includes both library and on-line retrieval of scientific information using chemical and biological abstracts and other databases. Analysis of technical writing is included through reading and discussion of current primary scientific literature. Prerequisite: Major with sophomore or junior standing.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Off-campus laboratory or field experiences.
-
4.00 Credits
Utilizing dissection as the major learning method, the fascinating and complex regions of the human body are studied. Emphasis is on the upper and lower extremities, including joint dissection. The thoracic and abdominal cavities are explored along with the musculature of the torso. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 116 or BIOL 211 and senior standing or consent.
-
4.00 Credits
Physiology of the tissue, organs and systems of the human body. Mechanisms of nerve function, muscle contraction, circulation, respiration, excretion and hormonal regulation. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 116 or BIOL 211 and at least junior standing.
-
4.00 Credits
Exercise physiology addresses issues regarding the acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise in health and disease. Specific areas of discussion include changes in the cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal systems following acute and chronic exercise, changes in physiologic adaptation related to aging, nutritional and ergogenic issues,and functional assessment. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 116 or BIOL 211 and at least junior standing.
