  • BIO 320: Evolution

    3.00 Credits
    Salve Regina University

    Lecture/Demonstration 3 hrs. The goal of this course is to provide students with an intellectual understanding of the principles of evolution, an appreciation of the historical processes leading to the development of the theory, and a sense of the scientific debate and controversy regarding the operation of evolutionary processes. The course will cover the history of evolutionary thought from Aristotle to the present. Emphasis will be placed on the cultural, religious, and philosophical atmosphere in Europe at the time Darwin was writing and publishing Origin of Species. The social and scientific ramifications of Darwinian theory will be presented. The course will include macroevolution, microevolution, and sexual selection. Prerequisite: BIO111-112. 3 credits.

  • BIO 330: Pathogenic Microorganisms

    3.00 Credits
    Salve Regina University

    Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. The epidemiology of specific diseases of rickettsiae and bacteria are used to introduce the different concepts of pathogenicity. Mechanisms of bacterial virulence and host defenses are examined to demonstrate the delicate balance in host-parasite relationships. The laboratory is based upon the isolation and identification of animal pathogens. Prerequisite: BIO210. 4 credits.

  • BIO 360: Animal Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    Salve Regina University

    Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. This advanced physiology course, designed for students interested in human or animal medicine, other professional health programs and graduate school in physiology, anatomy or development, draws heavily upon knowledge gained in earlier courses to understand the aspects of organismal function unique to mammals. It attempts to integrate processes, from the molecular level to the whole animal, in order to gain an understanding of homeostasis. The laboratories emphasize hands-on learning and some experiences with live animals. Prerequisite: BIO220 and junior/senior standing. 4 credits.
