4.00 Credits
Prereq: (BIOS 103 OR 171) & (NO CREDIT IF 301 OR 301A OR 302). Introduction to functional anatomy of the human body. Emphasis is on the musculoskeletal system and its control by the nervous system. Students will learn how the skeleton, major muscle groups, and nervous system work together during human behaviors such as posture, locomotion, control of the hands, respiration. 4 lec. May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. 2N

1.00 Credits
Prereq: (BIOS 203 OR CONCURRENT) & (NO CREDIT IF 301 OR 301B OR 302). For nonmajors. Laboratory introduction to the functional human anatomy. Emphasis is on the musculoskeletal and other major organ systems: nervous, circulatory, respiratory, and gastrointestinal. Students will explore the major patterns of the musculoskeletal and other organ systems through practical exercises with joint-muscle and tissue organ relationships by using articulated skeletons, surface anatomy, and dissection. 3 lab. May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. 2N
-
3.00 Credits
For nonmajors. Development, structures, and function of male and female human reproductive systems from conception to death, including behavior. Emphasis on current state of knowledge and relevance to topical health and social issues. Lecture and discussion format. 3 lec. Credit Hours: 3 General Education Code: 2AS Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.

4.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 103 OR 171 OR PSY 101. For nonmajors. The brain creates behavior in part via multiple chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) systems that serve specific functions such as mood alteration and arousal. Recreational and psychoactive medical drugs work by mimicking these natural messenger systems, and thus help elucidate the behavioral functions of different neurotransmitter classes. This course will review nervous-system structure and chemical signaling pathways and then survey the major classes of psychoactive drugs, including alcohol, opium, cocaine, amphetamines, nicotine, caffeine, marijuana, the hallucinogens, and the antidepressants. Particular attention is paid to the biological bases of their effects. 4 lec May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. 2N
-
4.00 Credits
A basic introduction to cancer biology. We will discuss normal cell growth and what can go awry, leading to tumors and cancer. What environment and genetic factors contribute to cancer? How is cancer treated and can it be prevented? Credit Hours: 4 General Education Code: 2NS Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. Note: Effective Summer Quarter 2010-11 (June 2011) any non-repeatable course may be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: NOT BIOS 473 OR PSY 314. Humans have always been interested in animal behavior. During our early history, much of that interest was based on practical need. Today studies of animal behavior help us understand our own behavior as well as our interactions with all other animals. In this course we explore both how and why some animals migrate, live in groups, fight, have mating preferences, provide parental care and communicate. Lectures will address some controversial issues in animal behavior, such as "Do animals have emotions " This course will provide you with a new way of thinking about, observing and interacting with the animals. May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. 2N

4.00 Credits
Prereq: . For nonmajors. Introduces the student to the modern field of conservation biology and the role of genetics, ecology, life history, and biogeography in the preservation and maintenance of biodiversity. Case studies of endangered animal and plant species will be highlighted. Credit not allowed for both BIOS 220 and 481. 4 lec. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts. 2A
