6.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-220) The first of a two-quarter sequence of human anatomy and physiology. The course covers basic molecular and cell biology, histology, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the nervous system and the special senses. Laboratory sessions include the study of microscopy, histology, anatomical models, preserved bones and human cadavers. Prerequisite(s): CHEM&-110 and BIOL&-160.
-
6.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-221) The second of a two-quarter sequence of human anatomy and physiology. The course will examine the endocrine system, blood, the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the immune system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system, and the reproductive system. Laboratory sessions include the study of histology, anatomical models, and the human cadaver. Prerequisite(s): BIOL&-241 with a grade of "C" or higher.
-
5.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-240) First of a three course sequence (BIOL&-252 and 253 follow). This course focuses on the fundamental biochemical structure and processes associated with most cells of the body. This includes membrane structure and molecular dynamics, especially membrane proteins and lipids. Muscle contraction, and bioelectric signal transmission and transduction are covered. The biochemistry of cellular energetics (cell respiration) is thoroughly covered as well. Laboratory focus is on the gross and microscopic anatomy (histology) of the skeletal and muscular systems using models, human cadavers, and microscopes. Prerequisite(s): CHEM&-121 (CHEM&-131 and BIOL&-160 highly recommended).
-
5.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-241) BIOL&-252 is a continuation of BIOL&-251 and includes studies of the gross and microscopic anatomy and physiology of the nervous, endocrine, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. The lectures will focus primarily on the physiology of the systems, and the lab will support the lectures with anatomical studies using lab models, human cadavers, microscopic studies (histology) and physiology exercies. Prerequisite(s): BIOL&-251 or the complete first quarter of a college-level human anatomy and physiology, or the first semester of college-level human anatomy and physiology.
-
5.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-242) BIOL&-253 is a continuation of BIOL&-252 that includes studies of the anatomy and physiology of the immune, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. The lectures will focus primarily on the physiology of the systems. The lab will support the lectures with gross and microscopic (histology) anatomical studies using lab models, human cadavers, microscopes, and physiology exercises. Prerequisite(s): BIOL&-252
-
5.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-201) Biological characteristics and metabolic activities of microorganisms, with an emphasis on bacteria and viruses. Includes consideration of microbial ecology as well as the relationship of microorganisms to disease. Laboratory included. Prerequisite(s): BIOL&-160, and CHEM&-121; CHEM&-131 recommended.
-
2.00 Credits
(Formerly BIOL-260) This is a two-credit laboratory dissection course. Students will dissect a human cadaver to include removal of skin and superficial fascia, isolation of selected muscles, and opening of thoracic and abdomino-pelvic cavities. Students will also participate in the annual Surgical Demonstration event and present selected surgical procedures to the public. Prerequisite(s): BIOL&-241 or BIOL&-252 (minimum grade 'C') or BIOL&-175 (minimum grade 'B+') and instructor permission.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Study of selected topics in biology primarily through field study, discussions, and readings.
-
5.00 Credits
Presents basic concepts of plant biology to non-science majors including plant characteristics, biodiversity, growth, reproduction, and ecology. Students discuss current topics in agriculture, horticulture, medicine, ethnobotany, biotechnology, ecology, conservation, and environmental issues. Labs include lab experiments, greenhouse projects, field trips, and habitat restoration work in the TCC Nature Area. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
2.00 Credits
Specific botanical topics will be explored using a variety of methods which may include seminars, lectures, research projects, presentations, field work, and all-day or overnight field trips depending on the quarter offered. Example topics for any one quarter may include food plants, gardening techniques, plant taxonomy, etc.
