-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: introductory course in biology or permission of instructor This course offers an introduction to the structure and working of the human body with emphasis on how structure makes function possible and disruptions in either leads to disease. Special emphasis will be placed on the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. The health risks associated with current behavioral and societal issues will be discussed, including drug and alcohol use, smoking, HIV, eating disorders, obesity, heart disease, etc.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Prerequisite: must take concurrently with BIOL 201 This course provides an introduction to the human body by examination of its structure and functioning. Exercises will reinforce the discussions of the corresponding body system being covered in lecture. Methodology used will include dissection, audiovisual material, and computer software.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours This course covers the study of basic nutrition including the role of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals in human metabolism. Topics will include energy sources and systems, energy requirements in physical exertion, weight and diet, and a review of current dietary practices. Applications of nutritional principles to physical fitness and performance enhancement and the effect of various ergogenic aids will be studied.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Laboratory investigations are coordinated with lecture material including the study of structure and function of a selected vertebrate. Technology tools are employed as an aid to analyzing animal physiology.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours This course offers a survey of the major taxonomic groups of the animal kingdom. The emphasis is on genetics, evolutionary biology, and classification. The anatomy, physiology, and ecology of each major animal phylum is contrasted with the other phyla. Societal concerns as well as global influences are addressed.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Laboratory investigations are coordinated with lecture material and involve the examination of representative animals from the survey. Technological tools are employed as an aid to organizing and classifying each taxonomic group.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: social science major or by permission of the instructor This course provides an examination of the biological systems controlling human growth and development from conception through death. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationships between environmental and genetic factors that influence various developmental stages that pertain to the human lifespan.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite(s): CHEM 325 and 325L or 311 and 311L, BIOL 310, 310L or permission of the instructor This course emphasizes basic immunological aspects as applied clinically in the hospital today. It includes basic concepts of protein biochemistry, biological basis of immunity, immunological reactions, immunoglobulin, and in vivo and in vitro immunological reactions.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Concurrent: BIOL 300 Microscope slides of the lymphatic system and of the white blood cells will be examined. Emphasis is placed on basic immunological tests such as the Ouchterlony test, blood typing, ELISA's, protein chromatography, and western analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite(s): two courses of biology and eight hours of chemistry or permission of instructor This course covers the study of the structure, function, and molecular pathways of the cell. Emphasis will be placed on modern molecular techniques, the role of membrane systems, cell to cell molecular interactions, cellular signal transduction, DNA transcription, translation and replication, and the cellular mechanism of cancer and disease processes.
