3.00 Credits
An introductory course in basic human anatomy and physiology. Topics include the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive. The laboratory section of the course will involve the examination of human anatomical models and experiments in basic physiology. Prerequisites: BIO 101 or STL 100. Not applicable towards baccalaureate degrees in Biology. 3 credits. F

3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the science of nutrition. Topics include: macronutrients, micronutrients, digestion, absorption and metabolism of nutrients, water and electrolytes, recommended dietary allowances, nutrition throughout the life cycle, and recent developments in the science of nutrition. Not applicable toward baccalaureate degrees in biology. Not open to students who have taken NSC 2300. 3 credits. WI, SU

4.00 Credits
This course will examine the basic science underlying exercise and its implications on overall health and fitness. The influence of exercise and athletic training on the human body will be studied in the context of a dynamic process. After introducing the basic biochemistry, anatomy and physiology of the bodily systems (metabolic, musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous), a study of the effects of various exercise activities on these systems will ensue. The biology behind the structure and function of the bodily systems, the rationale behind many training regimens, and the fallacy behind many myths will be explored. Same course as NSC 2500. 4 credits. AY

3.00 Credits
A course that introduces students to the world of photosynthetic organisms. In particular, the course explores plant form and diversity. Emphasis will be placed on plant morphology, anatomy, reproduction, taxonomy, evolution and ecology. Recent scientific developments will also be reviewed. The lab will have three objectives: 1) provide a macroscopic and microscopic survey of photosynthetic organisms from algae to flowering plants; 2) examine more closely the cells, tissues, and organs that make up a plant; 3) have students become more aware of the plantlife that is around them. Three hours lecture, two hours lab. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102. 4 credits. S
-
3.00 Credits
A study of bacteria, fungi and parasites, with emphasis on human diseases. Attention to normal flora, immunity, epidemiology, and control of disease. Laboratory work to include methods of isolation and identification of bacteria, and the use of disinfectants and antibiotics in their control. Prerequisites: College level laboratory biology course and high school or college chemistry. Includes a three-hour laboratory session. Not applicable toward baccalaureate degrees in biology. 4 credits. F
-
2.00 Credits
Classical genetics: Mendelian inheritance, the cellular basis of heredity, linkage and chromosome mapping. Molecular genetics: the structure of chromosomes, DNA replication, gene expression, gene regulation, mutation and repair. Human genetics: pedigrees, inherited diseases, the human genome project. Two hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102. 4 credits. F
