-
3.00 Credits
Concepts in functional anatomy and physiology will be integrated with current concepts in health and medicine. Includes anatomy of musculature associated with physical exertion; physiology of muscle systems, cardiovascular system, and nervous system pertaining to the physical movement of exercise. Emphasis on preventative health care, exercise and health of women, and gender differences in physiology and health.
-
3.00 Credits
Physiology and anatomy of human reproduction. Covers the form, function, and mechanism and sex development, puberty, sexual abnormalities, venereal diseases, menstrual cycle, sexual behavior and contraception, pregnancy, embryonic development, birth, lactation, and the sexuality of aging (including menopause). May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 347.
-
3.00 Credits
Review of genetics from a human perspective. Includes DNA structure and replication, chromosomes and cytogenetics; Mendelian inheritance; dominant and recessive alleles, the genetics of sex, mutations and mutagenesis; inherited traits; pedigrees, genetic diseases including inborn errors of metabolism; and genetic therapy.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of why and how animals and people age. Includes an evaluation of the causes and consequences of biological changes that occur during aging from the cellular to the whole animal level. Topics of discussion include evolutionary and mechanistic theories of aging, demography and age structure of populations, the use of modern methods to test mechanistic theories of aging, and the use of long-lived versus short-lived animal models to inform us about basic aging processes. Not open to Biological Sciences majors except by consent of advisor.
-
3.00 Credits
Considers the biological and physical processes that structure coastal environments and examines the application of marine science to the management of coastal resources. Investigates the impacts of the often conflicting uses of the coastal zone including fisheries, oil production and transportation, ocean dumping and coastal development. Coastal zone management tools and applications at local, state, federal, and international levels are discussed. Not open to Biological Sciences majors except by consent of advisor. Fieldtrips outside the classroom may be required.
-
3.00 Credits
Considers the major areas where human use of resources and consequent waste production (chemical, industrial, and biological) have had a negative impact on specific environments and on the species that inhabit them. An attempt will be made to identify areas of future adverse human impact and to evolve remedial solutions.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the principles of ecology applied to plant and animal populations considered endangered, threatened, or at risk. Investigates the complex factors contributing to the dynamics, decline, extinction, and perhaps recovery of species. Develops a stewardship perspective rooted in biological principles and considers the associated cultural, historical, economic, and political issues. Local, regional, and global conservation strategies are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the relationship between the brain, and how the brain produces behavior. Intended for non-majors, this course will review basic neuroanatomy and physiology, and consider mind/brain relations in the context of psychoactive drugs, brain development, neurological disorders, sexual behavior, and cognitive abilities such as language, memory, thinking, and consciousness. Also offered as PSYC 361. Students may not receive credit for both. Enrollment restricted to students who have completed the Lower-Division General Education requirement in Life Science (B2).
-
5.00 Credits
An integrated view of contemporary molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology. The fundamental principles of molecular biology including DNA replication, mechanisms and regulation of transcription and translation, and nucleic acid and protein structure and function will be presented and interwoven with some of the more traditional topics in cell biology and biochemistry. Examines the molecular basis of membrane structure and transport, cytoplasmic structure, and energy metabolism, organelle structure and function, cell motility, and cellcell interaction and signal transduction. Three hours of lecture, one hour seminar, three hours laboratory. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
4.00 Credits
Detailed study of classical transmission, molecular quantitative and population genetics. Included will be current observations and concepts of the nature, organization, function and regulation of the expression of genetic material. Subject matter covered includes mechanisms of genetic conveyance, recombination, mapping, mutation and repair, RNA and DNA viruses, karyotyping, human genetics, and genetics of organelles. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
