3.00 Credits
Introduction to the general principles of animal physiology with a focus on human body systems and their relationships. Coverage includes: cell and molecular physiology, muscle physiology, nerve cell conduction, sensory reception, synaptic transmission, neural organization and reflexes, physiology of blood, cardiopulmonary physiology, circulation, gas exchange, digestion, body fluid regulation, development, endocrinology, and reproduction. Laboratory exercises include studies on both invertebrates and vertebrates, including humans. Prerequisite: BIO 205; BIO 249 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced studies in human physiology. Emphasis on cardiology, circulation, respiration, acid-base balance, water balance, and disorders of the nervous system. For nursing majors; open to others with some physiology background; not open to biology/biotechnology majors. Prerequisites: BIO 113; CHEM 032; CHEM 132 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This study of invertebrate animals places special emphasis on ecology, habitat, economic importance, and special structures which make the animals competitive in our world. Field trips may augment lectures and laboratories. Prerequisite: BIO 249 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced studies of the structure and function of microorganisms with emphasis on bacteria and viruses. The cultivation of microorganisms, microbial metabolism, ecology, immunology, and virology are discussed. Prerequisites: BIO 206; CHEM 061; CHEM 161 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the native seed plants commonly found in the northern New Jersey environment; emphasis is on field work, identification of specimens, both in the field and in the laboratory, and the relationship of different species sharing common habitats. Major seed plant families are discussed in lecture. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: BIO 164 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An upper-level ecology course covering physiological ecology, behavioral ecology, and population ecology. Coverage includes conditions of the physical environment, the physiological basis of adaptation, ecology and evolution of sexual and social behavior, optimal foraging theory, evolution of life-history characteristics, population estimation, population growth and regulation, and population interactions. Laboratory exercises include field methods, laboratory methods, data analysis, and computer modeling approaches. Prerequisite: BIO 249 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Detailed examination of the structure and function of communities and ecosystems with emphasis on the northeastern U.S. Topics include biodiversity, symbioses, succession, gradients, productivity, nutrient budgets, and ecosystems management. Laboratory activities introduce students to current techniques for quantitative assessment of community and ecosystem structure and function. An in-depth field project and attendance on a one-day field trip are required. Prerequisite: BIO 249 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the recent, unprecedented losses of global biological diversity, and analysis of conservation strategies designed to prevent, minimize, and/or repair ecological damage. Conservation of biodiversity is considered from an ecological perspective, then integrated with economical and political issues to explore the implications of national and international conservation efforts. Lecture only. Prerequisite: BIO 249 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of animal behavior, including physiological aspects and ecological and adaptive implications. Lecture only. Prerequisites: BIO 249 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the importance of plants and plant products in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and medicines, as well as their aesthetic value to humankind. A historical perspective of agriculture and the implication of modern plant biotechnology on traditional plant cultivation are an integral part of the course. Lecture only. Prerequisite: BIO 164 3 credits Science and Healt258 h
