  • BIOL 130: Biological Self Defense

    4.00 Credits
    Hollins University

    Fenster This lecture/laboratory course will explore how the human immune system protects us from disease and the microbial pathogens that try to breach our defenses. The outcome of this constant interaction dictates the state of human health. Topics covered will include sexually transmitted diseases, biological agents, AIDS, malaria, and other diseases of public health interest. Laboratory experiments will investigate different facets of the immune system, the ubiquity of microorganisms and antibiotic sensitivity/resistance. Not intended for students majoring in biology. Open to first-year students. No prerequisite. Offered Term 1. (SCI)

  • BIOL 132: Human Biology: How Does my Body Work?

    4.00 Credits
    Hollins University

    Wilson This lecture/laboratory course explores the basic principles and functions of the human body (such as digesting a meal, taking a breath, or fighting an infection) and puts them in the context of total body function. The aims of this course are to provide students with hands-on experience gathering physiological data, as well as with a basic knowledge of human health, which will provide them with a foundation from which they can ask informed questions of a physician about their own health and/or the health of their family members. Not intended for students majoring in biology. Open to first-year students. No prerequisite. Offered Term 2. (SCI)
