-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A detailed study of the form and function of the various cell and tissue types found in higher plants, this course also surveys how scientific knowledge of plant anatomy is applied within a diverse range of fields, including ecology, forensic science, archeology, climatology, the arts and engineering.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
An examination of the structure and function of the nervous system. The course is designed to develop a detailed understanding of the nervous system structure and function from the molecular level to the level of complex circuits such as learning and memory. While the primary emphasis is the human nervous system, a central theme is the comparison of the neurological circuits across phyla to identify basic organizational principles.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of relationships among the vascular plants, their classification and methods of identification. Plant families native to Western Pennsylvania are stressed.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIOL2810. Topics covered will center attention on the integumentary, nervous, endocrine, immune, circulatory, respiratory, urinary, and digestive systems. Open to health science majors or by consent of instructor. Must be taken concurrently with BIOL 3811 unless it is being repeated.
-
1.00 Credits
This lab course reinforces the material presented in BIO3810 with emphasis on anatomy and select physiology activities. Students will explore the interrelationship between the integumentary, nervous, endocrine, immune, circulatory, respiratory, urinary, and digestive systems. Must be taken concurrently with BIOL3810 unless it is being repeated.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the chordates with emphasis on the vertebrates in their evolutionary development from the lower to the higher forms. In addition, a careful study of the basic and important structures of each class of vertebrates, their functions, life histories and natural histories (special adaptations and habits, origin and development) will be considered.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will examine and explore the link between the form and function in plants. Plant Physiologists are people interested in learning about what plants do, and what chemical and physical factors cause plants to respond as they do in their environment. This course will explore several important processes which allow plants to survive in their environment and we will examine the ecological implications of the physiological processes under investigation. We will primarily examine this relationship at the whole organism level. Laboratory experiments will reinforce the lecture topics.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the infectious agents of mammals and the diseases that result from infection by these agents. The course will focus on bacterial agents, their diagnosis and treatment. The laboratory portion of the course incorporates experiential learning of diagnostic procedures and case studies involving examples of pathogenic organisms. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours weekly. Fall annually.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of the immune system of animals, this course covers nonspecific and specific host responses to foreign materials, the interaction between cells of the specific immune response, the nature and diversity of the immune response, the practical applications of the immune response, and disorders associated with the immune response.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines mechanisms of pathogenicity utilized by bacteria, viruses and eukaryotic microorganisms at the molecular level. Topics include the mechanics of bacterial secretion systems, specialized extracellular structures, toxins, host-pathogen interactions, horizontal gene transfer, intracellular pathogens, viral replication, viral pathogenesis, viral genetics and mechanisms of anti-microbial action. Three lecture hours weekly
