3.00 Credits
A study of the immunological mechanisms of the vertebrate body including antigen structure and types, antibody structure and formation, and antigen/antibody reactions. Discussion of tolerance, autoimmunity, cellular and humoral immunity, hypersensitivity, and suppression. Prerequisites: CHEM 160-161. Corequisite: BIOL 265 or BIOL 355. 3 sem. hrs. 3 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide students with a sound working knowledge of several aspects of theoretical and clinical kinesiology including osteokinematics, arthrokinematics, biomechanics, bone and muscle palpation, goniometry and manual muscle testing. Joint structure and function as well as properties of muscle function (e.g., synergists, agonists, antagonists, active and passive insufficiency, length/tension relationship) will be stressed. Students will learn a variety of techniques for evaluating and testing human motion and, in the laboratory portion of the course, will practice surface anatomy and palpation and measurement of range and quality of normal motion. Abnormal or compensatory movement due to injury or disease will be studied by viewing video tapes of patients. Principles of biomechanics will be presented and tested in hands-on activities and problems that include calculations of torque, composition and resolution of forces. Prerequisites: BIOL303, PHYS120 or PHYS160. $133 lab Fee. 4 sem. hrs. 4 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will enable the student to be conversant in the structure and function of the nervous system, with emphasis on sensorimotor mechanisms and neuromuscular function. An overview of types and consequences of neuronal lesions will be addressed. These will be illustrated in a multidisciplinary fashion, i.e., morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and their clinical manifestations. Examples of pathological, occupational, and environmental causes of neurological disease will be used to highlight the different approaches in understanding physical impairment, an essential component of devising effective therapy. Prerequisites: BIOL 303 and BIOL 305 or permission of the Instructor. (Previously titled: Neuroscience). 3 sem. hrs. 3 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
An intensive problem-solving approach to the study of macromolecular structure and function. Emphasis is on proteins as regulatory and catalytic molecules, bioenergetics, and the integration of cellular metabolism. Laboratory work introduces modern techniques of biochemical analysis, including the use of computer-interfaced systems. Prerequisites: BIOL 160/161; CHEM 260/261. (Offered Fall semester only) 3 hrs. lect. 3 hrs. lab. 4 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of how cells function with an emphasis on the ultrastructural aspects of cells and their underlying macromolecular structures and mechanisms of cellular processes. Emphasis is on nucleic acids as informational molecules and proteins as catalytic and regulatory molecules and molecular machines. Topics include genomics, proteomics, nucleic acid structure, chemistry, and metabolism, recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering, membrane structure, membrane transport, protein sorting, vesicular traffic, and cellular communication. Experimental techniques in cell culture, immunology, microscopy and biochemistry are emphasized in the lecture, creating a foundation for laboratory experiments in molecular and cell biology. Prerequisites: MATH 125; BIOL 354 (Offered Spring semester only) 3 hrs. lect. 3 hrs. lab. 4 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of fundamental principles of heredity and variations as applied to eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses. The course will cover classical Mendelian Genetics, Population Genetics, Molecular Genetics, and Cytogenetics, with equal emphasis on the molecular aspects of gene structure, function, mutation, and regulation. Prerequisites: MATH 125; BIOL 160/161; CHEM 160/161. Co-requisite: CHEM 260 or permission of the instructor. 3 hrs. lect. 3 hrs. lab. 4 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
A morphological and genetic study of developmental stages of organisms, including cell differentiation, gametogenesis, fertilization, gastrulation and organogenesis. Prerequisite: BIOL 360. (Offered Spring semester only) 3 hrs. lect. 3 hrs. lab. 4 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to link college with the world of work by assisting students to obtain meaningful, academically relevant work experiences directly related to their career goals. Possible placement sites for students in Biology include corporations, hospitals, medical facilities and research organizations. Students professional development is enhanced through meetings with a faculty advisor and structured assignments based on the work experience. Cooperative Education office approval required. 3 sem. hrs. 3 crs.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual readings and research undertaken in a specific area of biology. Registration with the permission of the instructor and the chairperson of the department. 3 crs
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and laboratory practice in such areas as parasitology, serology and immunology, microbiology, hematology, clinical microscopy and urinalysis, clinical chemistry, and laboratory management; completed in residence in a hospital school of Medical Technology approved by the ASCP. Prerequisites: Completion of Mercy College requirements; acceptance into an approved hospital; recommendation by the department. 12 crs. per semester.
