4.00 Credits
A comparative survey of the plant kingdom in which the anatomy and physiology, and life cycles of plants are studied. Biological principles are emphasized in the following areas: cellular metabolism, growth and morphogenesis, reproduction and heredity, distribution and taxonomy. Ecological relationships are discussed in light of their impact upon ecosystem equilibrium. (Usually offered Spring semester.) Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (NS)

4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in general zoology. Three main themes will be covered during the semester. Initial study will focus on a brief overview of cells, principles of Mendelian genetics, and an introduction to the process of evolution. This initial study yields insight into how such a wide variety of animal forms and functions were produced during the earth¿s history. The second area of study will be an overview of features associated with the major animal phyla (groups). This will provide an understanding of how animals are classified especially in terms anatomical, developmental, and evolutionary differences. In concert with the second area, the third major area of study will be comparative dealing with the evolution of form and function. (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.) Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N)

3.00 Credits
This is a course designed to introduce the student to the structure, taxonomy, ecology and ethology of reptiles and amphibians. Emphasis will also be placed on their captive care, breeding, and housing. (Usually offered in Fall semester.) Restricted to Animal Management students or with permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the evolution, taxonomy, anatomy, physiology and behaviors of birds. Special emphasis will be placed on those species of birds commonly found in captivity. Additional topics will include breeding, nutrition, collecting, transporting, housing, and displaying captive birds. (Usually offered Spring semester.) Restricted to Animal Management students or with permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the fundamentals of mammalian biology and the captive management of mammals. Emphasis will be placed on the identification, taxonomy, evolution, anatomy and physiology, ethology and conservation of mammals. Consideration will also be given to collecting, housing and displaying, captive breeding and nutrition of mammals. Restricted to Animal Management students or with permission of the instructor. (Usually offered Spring semester)
-
3.00 Credits
The study and practical experience in the identification, techniques of collection, maintenance, breeding and nutritional requirements of aquatic species. Emphasis will also be placed on the exhibition and display of these species particularly for educational purposes. (Usually offered in Fall semester.) Restricted to Animal Management students or with permission of the instructor.

4.00 Credits
A lecture course which begins the examination of the structure and function of the human body. The lecture component of the course emphasizes normal physiological processes. Topics include: basic biochemistry; cellular anatomy and physiology (with an emphasis on DNA, RNA, protein synthesis); histology; skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. (Usually offered Spring, Fall, and Summer semesters.) Pre-requisites: AAC 042. A strong background in high school or college level biology taken within the last five years is highly recommended before attempting this course. Students lacking the background should take BIO 109, General Biology I or BIO 117, Human Biology, before attempting Human Anatomy & Physiology. Corequisite: BIO 213L Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (NS)

1.00 Credits
A laboratory course which begins the examination of the structure of the human body. Topics include microscopy, anatomical and directional terminology, cellular anatomy, DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, mitosis, histology; skeletal and muscular structure; neuron, peripheral and central nervous system structure; cranial and spinal reflexes; eye and ear anatomy. The course consists of exercises designed to analyze data and observations and to examine anatomical structures and relationships at both the microscopic and macroscopic levels. Physiological modeling and computer assisted instruction will be used to emphasize topics covered in the associated lecture. (Usually offered Spring, Fall, and Summer semesters.) Pre-requisites: AAC 042. NOTE: A strong background in general or human biology is recommended before attempting this course. Students lacking the background should take BIO 109, General Biology I or BIO 117, Human Biology, before attempting Human Anatomy & Physiology. Corequisite: BIO 213E Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (NS)
