1.00 Credits
This is a one-credit recitation course to provide enhancement, review, and discussion of topics covered in Anatomy and Physiology. The course is structured and includes completion of weekly written assignments and subjective evaluation of classroom participation.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of BIOL 1104 (General Biology I), with emphasis on animal and plant systematics, evolution, and ecology. Laboratory topics include the study of the following mammalian organ systems: digestion, respiration, circulation, homeostasis, reproduction, chemical and nervous control, and musculoskeletal structure and function. Lecture topics include systematics, evolution, ecosystems, and bioenergetics, including human impacts on the environment.

3.00 Credits
The second in a two-semester Internet-based course sequence, including laboratory components, that covers the structure and function of the human body. General issues include the maintenance of the human body, pregnancy, human development and heredity. Specific topics include the following systems: endocrine, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immunity, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive.

3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIOL 1404. It is a study of the gross and microscopic anatomy of various human systems, emphasizing how structure facilitates function. The areas emphasized are the endocrine, respiratory, reproductive, cardiovascular, urinary, lymphatic, immune, and digestive systems.
-
1.00 Credits
An applied and theoretical technology course which provides instruction and hands-on experiences in the preparation of tissues for microscopic examination by paraffin, and frozen section and smear techniques. Normal and diseased animal and plant tissues will be used to provide the students an opportunity to use a variety of techniques involved in processing tissues. Tissue identification and classification will be discussed as it relates to preparation procedures. Care, maintenance, and use of instrumentation in tissue preparation will be stressed. One-hour lecture and 2 two-hourlaboratories per week with significant additional supervised time spent in the lab by students.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the natural and human ecology of Central American rainforests, coastal habitats, and near-shore environments. Major topics of study include rainforest, mangrove, and coral reef structure and biodiversity, ethnobotany, environmental impacts of plantation monoculture, and models of sustainable agriculture. Ecological principles will be observed in a variety of settings in the highland and lowland forests and coastal environments of Costa Rica.
-
3.00 Credits
A series of field-oriented laboratory experiences involving analyses of various local ecosystems. Topics to be stressed include identification of organisms, use of environmental monitoring equipment, and collection and interpretation of field data.

3.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introductory level genetics course for those students who have had a previous college course in the life sciences. However, salient points of cell structure and the reproduction of cells are reviewed as needed. Mathematics are held to a minimum, but some problem solving, utilizing elementary algebra is employed. Classical Mendelian genetics are used to introduce the student to the basic concepts of human inheritance. Once these are understood, current molecular genetic theories are presented. In all cases, emphasis is placed on human inheritance and particularily the inheritance of human metabolic disorders. Presentation of topics of medical, social, and ethical concerns are introduced to stimulate student thought and to provide a basis for classroom discussion.
-
3.00 Credits
Bacteria and their related infections are emphasized along with viruses, rickettsia, fungi, and other disease causing agents. The primary emphasis is the terminology related to microbial agents, clinical diagnosis, laboratory detection, disease and control of microorganisms. Other topics include bacterial reproduction, morphology, structures, nomenclatures, phsiology, genetics, diagnostic bacteriologic media and the immune system.
