4.00 Credits
This is a broad introduction to the basic concepts of ecology as they pertain to population, evolutionary processes, communities and ecosystems. Several current environmental problems are explored in the light of these concepts. Laboratory includes a mix of lab and field exercises designed to put lecture topics into practice. The course is comprised of three lectures and three laboratory hours a week. Prerequisite: BIO 101/102 or permission of instructor; Offered in the fall semester; This course is intended for biology majors.
-
3.00 Credits
Evolution is the single most unifying theory in the biological sciences. This course traces the beginnings of Darwinian Wallace evolution by natural selection and places this theory in historical perspective. Current evidences of evolution are given and explained and evolution at the gene level is discussed. The emphasis of the course is on biological and biochemical adaptations to changing environments. Some limited treatment of population genetics is included. Prerequisites: BIO 101/102; Offered as needed.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory supports BIO 303 lecture course. Students required to take BIO 303 are also required to take BIO 303L (except for physician assisting students). O ffered both semesters; Corequisite: BIO 303
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines the organ systems of the body microscopically. The development, histology, histophysiology and histopathology of the tissues and organs of the body will be presented in lecture. The lab incorporates microscopic examination of the organ systems and training in processing of tissue for imaging and instruction in the use of imaging equipment. The course is comprised of two lectures and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisite: BIO 101/102, or BIO 107/108; Offered in the spring semester.
-
3.00 Credits
Individuals are continually exposed to foreign substances (antigens) and respond to them in ways that are both harmful and beneficial. Many areas of biology use the in vitro techniques of immunology. Thus, immunology integrates such diverse fields as genetics, biochemistry, physiology and medicine and is relevant for biology and health science students alike. The purpose of this course is therefore to introduce the student to the chemistry of antigens and antibodies, the biology of the immune response, including both harmful and beneficial aspects in the function of the cells, organs and molecules of the immune system. Immunologic techniques and their applications will also be examined. Prerequisites: BIO 101/102 or BIO 107/108 and CHE 101/102; Offered In the spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a detailed analysis of cellular organelles in relation to active transport, endocytosis, cell-tocell communications, cell development and protein synthesis. Chromosome organization, gene structure, RNA synthesis and regulation of gene expression are also considered. Discussions will emphasize techniques and key experiments that have helped in the development and formulation of contemporary concepts. This course is comprised of three hours of lectures and one discussion hour a week. Prerequisite: BIO 102 or 108 and BIO 303; Offered in the spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a study of vertebrates and their chordate origins, including an overview emphasizing their historical relationships. The major systems, such as integument, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, and skeletal, are presented with examples from the major vertebrate groups. The course is comprised of three lectures and three hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisite: BIO 101/102
-
6.00 Credits
This is a lecture and laboratory course in human gross anatomy, which uses cadaver dissection and other materials illustrative of human anatomy. Emphasis will be placed upon the anatomy of skeletal muscles, including their bony attachments, nerve and blood supply and their functions in movements. Additional dissections will involve a survey of abdominal and thoracic organs, anatomy of the head and contents of the cranial cavity. The course is comprised of two lecture hours and eight lab hours a week. Prerequisites: BIO 107/108 or equivalent and/or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
This is a study of the function of the endocrine system in regulating and maintaining biological processes. The course is comprised of three lectures a week. Prerequisite: BIO 101/102 or BIO 108; Offered in alternate years.
-
0.00 Credits
This is a noncredit course designed to guide and assist students in reviewing for entrance examinations for health professional schools and graduate school. The entrance exams covered include the Medical College Admission Test, Dental Admission Test, Pharmacy College Admission Test, GRE General Test and GRE Biology Test. The course provides an introduction to the exams, diagnostic testing, assistance in reviewing the appropriate subject areas, and the administration of practice exams. Prerequisites: D'Youville student with junior or senior standing
