3.00 Credits
This course is the second of two that serve as an introduction to human anatomy and physiology for biology majors and allied health students. The course entails describing, explaining, and analyzing structure and function from the submicroscopic to the organismal level with emphasis on specific cellular, tissue, and organ structure and physiology, and organ system structure and function? specifically the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Additionally, an analysis of these concepts is included: fluid and electrolyte balance, pregnancy, growth and development from zygote to newborn, and heredity.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2210
-
1.00 Credits
This is the second in a series of two laboratory courses designed to introduce laboratory practices and techniques for human anatomy and physiology, from the basic cell structure through the organ system level? specifically the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Specimen dissections, anatomic models, or synthetic cadavers are used (corequisite with the lecture).
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2210L
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the basic principles of microbiology, microbial pathogenesis, host defenses and infectious diseases. The course will emphasize concepts related to the structure and function of microorganisms, including their mechanisms of metabolism and growth. Host-parasite interactions will also be emphasized, including mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and mechanisms of host defenses against infectious diseases.
Prerequisite:
(BIOL 1140 AND BIOL 1140L) or [(BIOL 2110 AND BIOL 2110L) AND (BIOL 2410 AND BIOL 2410L)] AND (CHEM 1120 or CHEM 1215) or appropriate placement score
-
1.00 Credits
This course will emphasize both the theory and hands-on application of techniques used in a microbiology laboratory for the growth and identification of bacterial species. Students will learn microscopy skills and staining techniques for the observation of bacteria. Students will also learn aseptic techniques used for isolation of bacteria, inoculation of cultures, and interpretation of selective and differential growth media for the identification of bacterial species.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 1120L or CHEM 1215L or appropriate placement score
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the fundamental principles of heredity? DNA structure and replication? the processes of transcription, translation, and regulation of gene expression? and structural, functional, and comparative genomics. The course covers the application of major genetic concepts, principles, and techniques to understand and solve biological questions.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2110 AND BIOL 2110L
Corequisite:
BIOL 2410L
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course introduces the fundamental principles of heredity and uses the scientific method to understand and solve genetic questions. Emphasis is placed on transmission genetics, molecular genetics, genomics, and biotechnology, with work focused on discussion and problem-solving activities. Students must engage with primary literature (e.g., written paper or annotated bibliography). Students must give oral presentations. Wet lab work is not required.
Corequisite:
BIOL 2410
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the pathophysiology of cellular adaptation, injury and repair. Thereafter, the course focuses on the pathophysiology of anemia, neoplasms and white blood cell malignancies, brain and nervous system diseases, special senses, musculoskeletal system and joint diseases, and integumentary diseases. Immune defenses against infectious diseases and immunologic diseases are also covered. In addition, the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and other clinical considerations of diseases in these systems will be discussed.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2310 AND BIOL 2310L
-
3.00 Credits
Pathophysiology II builds on the concepts studied in Pathophysiology I. This course will focus on the molecular and cellular basis of diseases of the cardiovascular, clotting and coagulation, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and endocrine systems. In addition, the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and other clinical considerations of diseases in these systems will be discussed.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2510
-
4.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to provide you with the core conceptual foundation and hands on experience required to perform basic laboratory techniques used in a biotechnology laboratory. It is essential that these skills are mastered, since this will be the basis for all of the techniques used in future courses (BIOL 2715 and BIOL 2720). This class will provide theory and experience in lab safety and measurement, bacterial transformations and cloning, recombinant DNA, gel electrophoresis, tissue culture and basic bioinformatics skills.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2110 AND BIOL 2110L AND CHEM 1215 AND CHEM 1215L
-
4.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to provide theory and experience with protocols used to characterize and manipulate nucleic acids. This course will reinforce and build upon techniques learned in Biotechnology I. Techniques include DNA isolation and quantification, PCR, qPCR, gel electrophoresis, recombinant DNA technology, cloning, DNA sequencing, site-directed mutagenesis, tissue culture, and basic bioinformatics skills. Current issues and topics related to biotechnology will be explored.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 2710
