2.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) A course in the comparative morphology of protochordates and vertebrates. The sequence of study includes protochordate origin, vertebrate origin, vertebrate diversity, early embryology, and the comparative morphology of vertebrate organ systems. The evolutionary and developmental history of vertebrates will be of major importance. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151. Corequisite courses: BIO-345.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) Study of the structure and function of the major tissues, organs, and organ systems of the human body. Three lectures per week. Corequisite courses: BIO-342.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) A comprehensive study of the principal processes involved in vertebrate cells, tissues, and organ systems, including circulation, respiration, excretion, acid-base and fluid balances, digestion, reproduction, and muscle-nerve coordination and integration. Anatomy is studied as necessary to understand the functions of the different systems. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151, CHE-111, CHE-141, CHE-112, CHE-142. Corequisite courses: BIO-343.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring - even numbered years) A study of the interactions between plants and animals and their environments. The effects of environmental factors on living systems are considered at the individual, population, and community levels. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151, CHE -111, CHE- 141, MAT-211. Corequisite BIO-346.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) A course designed to provide a general understanding of the structure and function of bacterial cell types along with the application of bacteriology to certain medical, food, environmental and industrial processes. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151, BIO-251, CHE-111, CHE-141, CHE-112, CHE-142 Corequisite BIO-344.
-
1.00 Credits
(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) Students examine the structures of the human body by use of models, charts, and dissection of preserved and fresh animal organs. Also, experiments are used to demonstrate functional aspects of the major organ systems. Three laboratory hours per week. Corequisite courses: BIO-322.
-
1.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) Includes experimentation in cellular physiology, blood analysis and circulation, respiration, excretion, and neuromuscular function. Some dissection of preserved and fresh animal organs is required as necessary to understand organ functions. Three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151, CHE-111, CHE-141, CHE-112, CHE- 142. Corequisite courses: BIO-323.
-
1.00 Credits
(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) A series of laboratory exercises chosen to acquaint students with procedures used in studying bacteria, including aseptic technique, culturing methods and staining techniques. Students isolate strains from natural habitats and also carry out exercises associated with food and medical microbiology. Three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151, BIO-251, CHE-111, CHE-141, CHE-112, CHE-142 Corequisite BIO-334.
-
2.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) A vertebrate dissection course. A comparative systems approach is used in the detailed dissection of the lamprey, dogfish shark, mudpuppy, and cat. The course also includes the microscopic and gross examination of hemichordates and protochordates. Three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151. Corequisite courses: BIO-321.
-
1.00 Credits
(Spring - even numbered years) Laboratory studies of ecosystems to supplement lecture material presented in BIO-326 and illustrate some techniques involved in current ecological studies. Laboratory exercises will combine studies of plant, animal, and environmental interactions with experimental manipulations of selected ecosystems, Three laboratory or field trip hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151, CHE-111, CHE-141, MAT-211. Corequisite BIO-326.
