3.00 Credits
This course starts with a basic overview of human anatomy and physiology and then focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the eye. Emphasis is placed on embryological development of the eye, the normal structure and function of ocular tissues, and their interrelationships with other systems. Consideration is given to anatomical abnormalities and the pathophysiology of the visual system. Laboratory work includes dissection of an eye. Laboratory fee.

4.00 Credits
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms. Topics covered include: eucaryotic cells, protozoans and fungi, procaryotic cells, bacteria, rickettsiae and mycoplasmas, and viruses. Lectures and laboratory sessions consider techniques in culturing, studying, and identifying microorganisms. Also covered are nutritional and environmental needs, biochemical activity, genetic makeup and expression, and the interrelations between microorganisms and human or animal hosts during health and disease. Additional topics are pathogenicity, virulence, immunology, natural defense, and environmental control factors. Prerequisites: "C" or better in CHM 101 or CHM 103 andalso in BIO 104 or BIO 122. Laboratory fee.

4.00 Credits
BIO 220 is the study of humans and their interactions with the environment. Topics include fundamental aquatic and terrestrial ecology, air and water pollution, and world population problems and their solutions. Laboratory sessions include measurements of various environmental pollutants, fundamental lab exercises in ecology, analysis of environmental parameters, and descriptive and practical reinforcement of lecture material. Prerequisite: "C" or better in BIO 103. Pre- or Co-requisite:BIO 104. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
The principles of force and leverage are emphasized in this course. The kinematics and kinetics of human movement are also covered. The course will include aspects of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems as they apply to human movement. Goniometry, ROM, and lever systems are revisited in the laboratory. These above principles are discussed in the context of practical application by a Physical Therapist Assistant. Prerequisites: "C" orbetter in BIO 121, PTA 101, and PTA 102. Co-requisites: PTA 201, PTA 203, and PTA 209. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
BIO 228 is a study of the fundamental principles that guide cellular and molecular organization and function. Topics include membranes and cell signaling, the cytoskeleton and cell motility, the cell cycle, and regulation of gene expression. Laboratory sessions include the measurement of toxic effects of various chemicals on membrane integrity, practical applications of biotechnology to everyday problems, and the use of recombinant DNA technology to perform an authentic cloning experiment. * This course has also been approved as an elective for Biology/Pre-Med majors (0601). Prerequisite: "C" orbetter in BIO 103. Pre- or Co-requisite: BIO 104. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
BIO 229 is a study of the basic laboratory methods needed for employment in the Biotechnology industry. Students will learn the foundations of scientific method, basic lab safety and lab documentation, and maintenance and calibration of basic laboratory equipment. Laboratory sessions will include measurement and separation utilizing centrifugation, chromatography, electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, and Polymerase Chain Reaction. Prerequisite: "C" or better in BIO 103. Pre- or Co-requisite:BIO 104. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
BIO 230 is a work experience program where students are employed in a technical position in an industrial, government, academic, or organizational laboratory for the purpose of gaining practical experience in Biotechnology. Supervision of this departmentally approved position is provided by the college through on-the-job visits and individual progress review sessions. Students attend a weekly one hour seminar on campus and work a minimum of 180 hours per semester. Individuals must be recommended by the faculty of the Division of Biology and Chemistry, approved by the Chair of the Division, and, where necessary, registered with the Department of Cooperative Education.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in Genetics for biology majors. The course follows a lecture/laboratory format to cover traditional topics in transmission genetics (Mendelian and Non-Mendelian), gene mapping, molecular genetics, organization of viral, prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes, regulation of gene expression, recombinant DNA technology, and population genetics. The laboratory component introduces students to techniques and instrumentation that are used to manipulate and to investigate the structure, function, and transmission of inheritable information. Prerequisite: "C" or better in BIO103. Pre- or Co-requisite: BIO 104. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes disease mechanisms, the various responses of the body to restore homeostasis, and the effect of these responses on normal function. Pathogenesis is viewed at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and systemic levels and correlated with signs and symptoms. Diagnostic procedures and the rationale for treatment modalities are covered for model diseases. Prerequisite: "C" or better in BIO 104 or BIO 122.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in pharmacology. Students utilize the physical and social sciences as a framework for developing an understanding of drug action and usage. Selected classifications and families of drugs are introduced. The names, indications, mechanisms, dosage range, side effects, and adverse effects of individual drugs are discussed. The format of the course is lecture, discussion, and case presentation. Prerequisite: "C" or better inBIO 121 or BIO 103. Pre-requisite: "C" or better in BIO104 or BIO 122.
