4.00 Credits
4 hours A study of gametogenesis, fertilization, organogenesis, and the formation of the body. Both organismal and molecular aspects of these processes will be discussed, ending with a discussion of organ formation, especially the limb, the eye, and gonadal development. Questions such as how sperm and egg interact to create a new organism and how a single cell gives rise to the diverse group of cells that make up the adult body are central to this course. Laboratory will include observation of and experimentation with invertebrate and vertebrate systems. Three lectures and one lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152; (BIO 243, 248, and BIO 364 recommended).
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An exploration of current questions in evolutionary biology through lecture, lab, and discussion of the primary literature. Topics include the role of natural selection and drift in human evolution; inferring the origins of new diseases; the effects of genomic conflict on speciation; and the challenges that hybridization poses to understanding the tree of life. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152; (BIO 248 strongly recommended).
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An introduction to both the theoretical and technical aspects of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Laboratory includes fixation, dehydration, embedding, knife making, ultramicrotomy, staining, microscope operation, photography and darkroom techniques. Lecture examines the theory of each laboratory technique as well as microscope construction, optics, and special methods. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours This course examines molecular functions, gene expression, and regulation from an evolutionary perspective emphasizing structure-function relationships. Laboratory emphasis. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152 (BIO 248 recommended).
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours A study of the biochemical and structural basis of cell activity. The laboratory stresses the use of biochemical and cytological techniques to study living systems at the cellular and molecular levels of organization. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours A study of the complex patterns and processes in the natural world. We examine questions about the distribution and abundance of species and communities, the transfer of matter and energy in ecosystems, and how these relate to biodiversity. Lectures and laboratory. Laboratory includes field trips requiring hiking and directed research projects. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152; and at least one 4-hour, 200-level biology class are required.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Microscopic anatomy of human tissues, organs, and organ systems. Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues, as well as digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and urogenital systems will be covered. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152. (Junior or senior standing strongly recommended).
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours This course will emphasize the role of hormones in maintaining homeostatis. We will examine the chemical messengers most relevant to human biology, and explore the structure, sites of synthesis and the mechanisms by which hormones exert their effects. Finally, through laboratory exercises, students will directly utilize current research methodologies to examine the role of hormones in physiologic control systems. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152 (BIO 255 recommended).
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An in-depth gross anatomy course which includes dissection of a human cadaver. Skeletal, muscular, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and urogenital systems will be covered. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 151 and BIO 152 or BIO 243. (Junior or senior standing strongly recommended).
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
1-2 hours Prerequisite: BIO 151, 152, 12 hours in biology and consent of the instructor.
