3.00 Credits
This basic course provides a working knowledge of medical terminology by building a background in the language of medicine. Major emphasis is placed on the use, spelling, English translations and pronunciations of the medical terms. A deeper understanding of medical terms will increase the comprehension and efficiency of work produced by students interested in some aspects of medicine and/or health.
-
4.00 Credits
This laboratory course deals with the processes and principles common to all living systems and with the diversity generated by evolution. Major emphasis is placed on cell biology, genetics, plants and animal diversity, and vertebrate structure and functions. The laboratory includes microscope work, field trips, dissections and the scientific method. (Credit hours. revised Spring 2009)
-
1.00 Credits
This introductory lab examines basic biological concepts by focusing on the structures and function of plants and animals. 2 hours/week. BL 101.1 students must be currently enrolled in BL 101 or have successfully completed BL 101 within the last three years. (Lab formerly part of BL 101)
-
3.00 Credits
Educational in nature with emphasis on personal hygiene, community health and health education, this course covers diverse topics such as wellness, mental health, stress, nutrition, weight management, communicable disease, non-communicable disease, reproductive health, parenting, substance abuse, aging, and ecology. Socioeconomic and sociocultural factors that impact the wellness of specific cultural groups will also be discussed. (Revised Summer 2010)
-
3.00 Credits
This course in human nutrition and diet includes a dietary calculation (analysis) and evaluation. The classification and composition of foods, minerals and vitamins and their functions in the human organism are also studied. The course is designed to enhance the understanding of nutrition science in ways that apply to everyday life, which will include studying the relation of nutrition to various health problems.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, discussions, demonstration, and individualized instruction. Human Physiology complements and continues conversations begun in Physiology and Anatomy with particular emphasis on body control, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, endocrine and nervous systems. Basic method of approach is to encourage the application of findings from medical journals, texts, and hospital visits to the understanding of the human body. The laboratory concentrates on human and small vertebrate experimentation.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, discussion, demonstration and laboratory in this in-depth study of the human body will concentrate on the integration of the knowledge of the body structure with physiological activities. This course will include the study of cells, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive, excretory, endocrine and reproductive systems. (Credit hours. revised Spring 2009)
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory exercises are designed to supplement lecture topics and include microscopy, the study of models, dissection and physiological experiments. Students will study the relationship of structures to function in the organ systems of the human body. Emphasis will be on identification of the anatomical features and their functions.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the interactions of plants and animals within their environment. It considers natural ecosystems and populations, including nutrient cycles, energy flow, competition, predation and natural selection. The human's role in the environment is analyzed with emphasis on air and water pollution, energy use and population growth.
-
5.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of microbiology are studied in this class, with special emphasis on the physical and chemical properties of the bacterial cell, including metabolism, growth and pathogenicity. Immunological reactions and practical laboratory procedures are included.
