4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits), May Term (3 credits). Comparative study of vertebrates as whole organisms. Laboratory work is entirely devoted to anatomical structure. Lectures primarily cover morphology and evolution. Six hours laboratory/lecture. Offered in alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Structure and function of cells, with emphasis on events outside the nucleus. Study of cytoskeleton, bioenergetics, intracellular communication, control of cell division, and sorting of proteins to appropriate organelles. Laboratory includes fluorescence microscopy, in vitro reconstitution of cellular processes, and subcellular fractionation. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory/ discussion. Prerequisites: BIOL 131-133 and 239, or permission. Offered in alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Investigation of the major animal phyla, illuminating the widely different ways in which functioning animals are constructed. Emphasis on protozoans and arthropods. Dissection is involved. Experience in recognizing and culturing invertebrates. Six hours laboratory/lecture. Prerequisites: BIOL 131-133. Offered as needed.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits), May Term (3 credits). Analysis of the ecology, population biology, and behavior that is needed to understand the process of extinction. Prerequisites: BIOL 131-133, or permission. Offered as needed.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall (1), Spring (1). Provides an opportunity to observe in the emergency room at Loma Linda University Medical Center or Arrowhead County Hospital, and to explore some of the issues generated by those observations. May be repeated for degree credit up to 2 credits, with preference given to non-repeating students. CN only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Exploration of the analysis of molecular biology through the use of computer databases and algorithms, and high-throughput methods. Topics include genome organization, genome evolution and the study of gene expression and function. Laboratory investigations include transformation of eukaryotes and use of bioinformatics databases and algorithms. Prerequisites: BIOL 239 or permission. Offered as needed. NU and EV only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Study of microorganisms: their structure, taxonomy, metabolism, genetics, and interactions with humans. Laboratory includes cell culture, microbe isolation and identification, and bacterial genetics. Six hours lecture/laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 131-133 and 239, or permission. Offered as needed.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits), Spring (4 credits). Functioning of the human body at the cellular, systems, and whole animal level. Emphasis on nervous, endocrine, renal, and cardio- vascular systems and their interrelationships. Prerequisites: BIOL 131-133. Offered as needed. NU and EV only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits). Study of the physiological, molecular, and cellular basis of host defense. Emphasis will be on the human immune system and its pathogens. Diseases of the immune system, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and AIDS will also be examined. Prerequisites: BIOL 131, 133, and BIOL 239.
-
3.00 Credits
May Term (3 credits). Ecology, ecological physiology, and natural history of selected aquatic organisms. Biology of rivers, lakes, and the marine intertidal and subtidal zones. Introduction to physical oceanography, limnology and potamology. Implications for water pollution control, water resource development, and water-related human activities. Field trips. Two hours lecture, six hours laboratory. Recommended: BIOL 331, 336, 339. Offered in alternate years.
