In the laboratory portion of the course students also will be able to answer the following: why are structures different (or in some cases, the same) in different vertebrates, what is the function of those structures, and how did those structures arise evolutionarily. Co-requisite: BIOL3570

4.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the use of computer simulations in biology. In particular, students will use computer models to investigate biological problems and learn which different computer models might be applicable to different biological systems. Students will complete brief investigations which use simple computer models to investigate various biological processes. No prior programming experience is required, and we will learn the basics of the Visual Python language through these in-class investigations. Furthermore, students will learn how to present their results in a scientific manner. Students will then work on a project of their choosing and numerically investigate a chosen biological process. Students will finish the project by both submitting a project report and giving an in-class presentation. Prerequisite: PHYS1210

This course is for pre-medicine students. It will review the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology of the human central nervous system. It was designed for continuing education in health care professions and as preparation for the corresponding sections of the MCAT examinations. Prerequisite: BIOL3370

Questions of how animals learn, and how behaviors are controlled at a proximate level will be discussed, in addition to evolutionary questsions of why animals behave as they do. Topics include: foraging, mate choice, reproductive strategies, communication, and social behaviors. In lab students will design and conduct behavioral experiments, read and critique current and classic behvior literature. Prerequisites: BIOL2310 and BIOL2315 Co-requisite: BIOL4250

This course is an advanced upper level course design for Biology and Biology Pre-Med majors with a special interest in studying Genetic diseases, mechanisms of inheritance, physiological effects, and phenotypic absnormalities. For this particular course, knowledge of transmission genetics and basic molecular biology is required as knowledge of cellular pathways and basic inheritance patterms and pedigrees will be discussed. This course will incude current research and methodologies in Genetics and Genetically inhirited disorders. Case studies will serve as an application of knowledge studied in each section. In addition, various laboratory techniques will be usded to aid in the learning process. Part of the time will also include examining case studies and discussing relevant ethical issues. Prerequisites: BIOL3370, BIOL3375, BIOL3470 and BIOL3475 Co-Requisite: BIOL4225

This is an upper level advanced topics course for Biology majors. The topic of this course varies each semester. For this particular iteration of the courses, the focus will be on an introduction to the principles of Immunology, in both the lecture and laboratory portions of the course. The course will incorporate current relevant research topics and methodologies in immunology, as well as an application of medical case studies. Topics to be covered in the lecture and laboratory portions of the course may include, but not limited to: Elements of the Immune System and Their Roles in Defense Innate Immunity Adaptive Immunity Antibodies and B Cells Development of B Cells and T Cells T Cell Mediated Immunity Hypersensitivities Vaccinations Organ/Tissue Transplantation Cancer and the Immune System Various laboratory techniques and instructional technologies will be employed throughout the course to foster discovery and to gain insights into these concepts. Prerequisites: BIOl3370 and BIOL3375 or permission of the department head Co-requisite: BIOL4275

This course studies human embryology with emphasis on the fundamental developmental processes. Topics include gametogenesis, fertilization, and development of the embryo from zygote through the differentiation of the neural tube. The second part of the course is devoted to the development of selected human organ systems including the nervous system, sense organs, and the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems. Histological, preserved, and selected living materials are studied to illustrate the embryological concepts. Prerequisites: BIOL1310 and BIOL1315
