  • 0.00 - 4.00 Credits

    The lecture portion focuses on structure and function of the skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems, and examines core concept of homeostasis and feedback loops. The lab portion of the course consists of detailed laboratory dissections of the dogfish shark and domestic cat, serving as models of human anatomy, coupled to computer aided examination of human anatomy and some histology. Three hours lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 201, and CHE 201 or 211. Meets foundational core. Offered fall semester.
  • 0.00 - 4.00 Credits

    A continuation of BIO 310, the lecture focuses on the respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, and digestive systems, and examines several core concepts demonstrated by these systems. The lab portion of the course focuses on common experimental techniques and physiological measures relevant to respiratory, cardiovascular, and urinary systems. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BIO 310. Offered spring semester.
