  • 4.00 Credits

    Organization, function, and integration of organ systems is emphasized as well as clinical dysfunctions. Topics include tissues, skeletal, muscle, and nervous system physiology. Th e laboratory exposes students to details of human anatomy, focusing on skeletal and muscular structures. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Fall semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Continues a survey of major organ systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, immune, reproductive, urinary, and digestive. Laboratory investigations focus on the principles of physiologic measurement and data interpretation. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Prerequisite: BIO 414. Spring semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A study of the interrelationships among organisms and relationships between organisms and their environment. Ecology seeks to explain both the abundance and distribution of species, and their origins. Unique to ecology is the study of communities connected by predator-prey, competitive, mutually benefi cial, and parasitic interactions. We will study local fl ora and fauna as well. Much of ecology has implications for the survival of our species and our stewardship of others. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Fall, odd-numbered years.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of the factors in the continuity and modifi cation of life through time; hereditary basis of evolution; eff ect of environmental change; diversity and the origin of life on earth. Th eories of evolution from Lamarck and Darwin to the modern synthesis and theories on extinction will also be considered. Th ree lectures weekly. Spring, even-numbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A detailed examination of the structure, replication, expression, and regulation of genes in viral, prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Prerequisite: BIO 474 or permission of instructor. Spring odd-numbered years.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An introduction to the discipline and study of the basic mechanisms of the vertebrate immune system. Investigation will focus on the development and physiology of the immune response. Th e application of immunologic principles to diagnostic, therapeutic, and research techniques will be addressed throughout the course. Th ree lectures weekly. Spring, even-numbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A study of the mechanisms underlying the process of heredity including classical, molecular and population genetics. Th e patterns of inheritance in cells, individuals and populations will be considered, with an emphasis on classical genetics and cytogenetic processes. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Fall semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Cell Physiology is an advanced course examining the molecular and biochemical mechanisms of cellular processes, specifi cally those involved in coordinating the individual activities of cells in a multi-cellular organism. Special emphasis will be placed on mechanisms of cellular communication and specialization. Prerequisite: BIO 371. Spring, odd-numbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Classifi cation, evolution, distribution, and life history of mammals with emphasis on plains species. Th e laboratory will concentrate on identifi cation of Nebraska species, collection techniques and unique life history patterns. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Spring, odd-numbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Th e behavior of the individual is a manifestation of that species' "behavioral repertoire" the "what" of behavior. Th e "how" involves physiology, sensory capabilities, anatomy, and biochemistry. Th e "why" explores the selective advantage of the behavior in ecological and evolutionary terms. Tools used in animal behavior range from DNA analysis to binoculars and notepads. Th ree lectures weekly. Lab meets weekly March through April and culminates in a 5-day fi eld trip in early May. Spring, odd-numbered years.
