3.00 Credits
An examination of the message of the eighth and seventh century B.C. prophets in light of the political, economic, social and religious milieu of their day and the manner in which that message is communicated in the contemporary setting.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the biological sciences with a particular emphasis placed on concepts relevant to the health sciences. Biomolecules, cell structure and function, metabolism, cellular basis of reproduction, genetics, microbiology, animal morphology, and animal tissues and organ systems will be studied in detail. An introduction to evolution and ecology will also be included. Biology-related social and ethical issues encountered in the health professions will also be discussed. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to fundamental concepts in the biological sciences including the organization of living matter, cellular structure and function, food production by photosynthesis, energy harvest, mechanisms of cellular reproduction, genetics, and evolution. Discussions of current scientific issues will also be included. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of diverse structures and functions observed in a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, with emphasis placed on plants and vertebrates. The study of the Kingdom Plantae will include investigation of plant life cycles and reproductive strategies. Topics including respiration, digestion, and reproduction will be introduced in the study of vertebrate animals. An introduction to ecology and the impact of humans on a variety of organisms will also be included. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
A study that includes the anatomy of the body as a whole. Emphasis will be on anatomical structures and organizational relationships of the organs and systems of the body. General physiology of each system and the major influence systems have on one another is emphasized. Laboratory studies include dissection of the cat and study of various skeletons, models, and charts. Emotional, psychomotor and physical well being are included in the cognitive aspect of this course. Prerequisite: BIO 1510. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
A study that includes some anatomy, especially histology and embryology, as necessary for understanding physiology. Emphasis will be on physiological processes of all body organs and systems. Emotional, psychomotor and physical well being are important cognitive aspects of physiology. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: BIO 2010 or equivalent. Fee charged.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of cellular structure and function. Topics will include energy conversions, cell replication, vesicular formation and transport, membrane structure and function, cell motility, and cell communication. Lecture. Prerequisite: BIO 1510 and BIO 1520. (Spring, even numbered years).
-
3.00 Credits
A study of how chemical principles and biochemical pathways create certain nutritional requirements for humans in various states of health and disease. Emphasis will be given to the needs of pregnancy, infancy, adolescence, sports conditioning, maturity, and nutritional therapy in some disease states. The possible benefits of proper nutritional practices for our culture, wellness programs, and managed care will be discussed. The world-wide impact of hunger and disease and our responsibility for relief will be pursued. The laboratory will include various measurements and profiling of nutritional status on the individual students. CHE 1010 or CHE 1040 recommended. (Fall, odd numbered years). Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of microscopic organisms with emphasis on bacteria and fungi. Classification, morphology, cultivation, and identification will be studied in both lecture and lab. The role of these organisms in the ecosystem, industry, and disease will also be discussed. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: BIO 1510. Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
The principles of restoration ecology and conservation biology are applied to a stressed urban neighborhood. The interdependent human relations of place, land, and biodiversity are recognized so that degraded ecologic resources may be improved in a sustainable manner. Organic permaculture techniques which are not seasonal will be selected for applicability to the stressed neighborhood. Restoration techniques that have worked well for the United Nations Environmental Project, World Bank and other NGO's will be examined for applicability, implemented, and results measured. Restoration guidelines of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), and the Environmental Protectiion Agency (EPA) will be followed to improve knowledge of these agencies and provide basis for further work and support.
