-
4.00 Credits
Surveys indoor and outdoor environmental health hazards. Hazards are addressed from the standpoint of their source and nature, human health effects, measurement and control, and management.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of the mechanisms, but with the human organism functions. Mechanisms covered range from the molecular/subcellular to the tissue, organ, and organism levels. Organ systems examined include the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, renal, digestive, and reproductive. Emphasizes three major themes: (1) that organ functions are dependent on the underlying molecular and cellular processes, (2) that all organ systems use biological control systems to maintain organ homeostasis, and (3) that each organ function is closely controlled and dependent on the interaction/integration with functions from other organ systems.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 151 before 2015-16.)
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to medical microbiology that focuses on the structure, biology, and genetics of microbes in relation to human disease and to bacteriology as well as bacterial, viral, fungal pathogens and the mechanisms of disease. Prepares student for advance study in microbiology and the health sciences. Standard methods and techniques are emphasized in laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to microbiology focusing on the fundamental principles of microbial structure, modes of reproduction, genetics, and physiology. Emphasizes the importance of microbes in ecological, industrial, immunological, and epidemiological processes. Standard microbiological methods and techniques are emphasized in laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of birds of the region. Indoor laboratory as well as early-morning and possibly weekend field trips required.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of accepted practices in soil, water, forest, and wildlife conservation. Saturday field trips.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 111-112 or 103-104
-
3.00 Credits
Examines how our genes play a role in disease and diet. Includes a fundamental background of genetics, as well as specific diseases that are caused by defective genes. Explores how nutrition interacts with the genome and its impact on health and disease.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces epidemiologic principles, concepts, and methods used to study the distribution and determinants of diseases in populations. Includes public health and clinical applications. Covers the history of epidemiology, dynamics of disease transmission, measures of disease frequency and association, study designs, causation, and also considers ethics and public policy issues in epidemiology.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 460 before 2016-17.)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the measures for abatement or control of arthropods, rodents, birds, and other disease vectors of public importance; selection, chemistry, formulation, and safe application of insecticides, rodenticides, and fumigants; pesticiding equipment; application of biological and other measures of control.
-
3.00 Credits
The lecture-only course introduces the identification and assessment of biological evidence in criminal matters using DNA. Presents routinely used broad-based protocols for DNA typing, sample collection, and techniques applied in quality assurance during DNA profiling. Covers important questions about the use of DNA by criminal justice system.
