4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 251, 282. This course examines the microscopic anatomy of the four basic adult tissue types and how they are arranged and utilized in the construction of the major vertebrate organ systems. Outcome: The major learning objectives for this course are (1) to become familiar with the gross and microscopic anatomy of cells, tissues and organs and (2) to understand how these anatomical features correlate with specific physiological functions.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 242, 243, 251, 282; CHEM 222 or 224. A mixed lecture and laboratory course providing an in-depth look at the human body at the level of gross anatomy. Outcome: Students will acquire an advanced understanding of the structure and relationships of major organ systems in the human body.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 265, 282. This course deals with the social behavior of animals with an emphasis on the genetic, evolutionary and ecological factors that influence those behaviors. Outcome: Students will have gained an understanding of causal factors in animal social behavior and understand the adaptive significance of social behavior.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the anatomy and physiology of women at different and critical times in their life span. This course also addresses social issues that effect women at different points in their life. Topics include the evolution of sex, gender differentiation, and reproduction. Outcome: Students will learn about the biology of the female system, and how it changes with age. Students will also learn through discussions and guest lectures the interplay between society, medicine and gender.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 242, 243, 251, BIOL 282, and CHEM 222 or 224. Lecture and laboratory. Animal function and structure; emphasis on organ physiology. Feeding, digestion, water relations, respiration, hormone systems, receptor and effector mechanisms, central nervous coordination, regulation of homeostasis, dynamics of the circulatory system and the physiology of bone and musculature. Outcome: Students will demonstrate detailed understanding of how organ function is regulated at cellular and systems level.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 242 and BIOL 243. Survey of hormones that regulate metabolism, salt and water balance, calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and reproduction; special emphasis on hormonal transduction signals and integration of endocrine systems. Outcome: Students will develop detailed understanding of how numerous aspects of metabolism are controlled at cellular and systems levels by hormone action.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 251. Anatomy and physiology of male and female reproductive systems, fertilization, implantation, pregnancy, and birth; immunological aspects of reproduction. Outcome: Students will understand structure/function relationships in reproductive biology and how reproductive systems are regulated at cellular levels.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of animal parasites, their distribution, structure, adaptations, life cycles, and host relationships. Outcome: Students will learn to recognize the major groups of animal parasites, be able to explain their life cycles and describe the mechanisms that hosts use to ward off parasite infestation.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 251, 282. This course focuses on cellular and molecular underpinnings of the development of neuronal features of the nervous system. Topics include neural induction and subsequent differentiation events, regulation of neuronal survival, axon guidance, target selection, and synaptogenesis. Outcome: Students will become familiar with principles of neural development and the studies that led to those principles. Students will also learn how to critically read primary research papers and present these papers to the class.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 251, ANTH 326. Normal bone tissue and normal bone alterations and the impact of various disease processes on skeletal tissue. Students will be taught to assess and interpret patterns of human disease in processual rather than typological terms.
