Laboratory sessions will involve an investigation of the structure and development of plants, the body design and physiology of invertebrates and vertebrates, and selected field work in animal behavior.
This course introduces the fundamental principles of human anatomy and physiology necessary for emergency medical services (EMS) practice. Students study the structure and function of body systems and the physiologic processes that maintain homeostasis. The course emphasizes the relationship between anatomy, normal physiology, and the pathophysiologic changes associated with illness and trauma commonly encountered in the prehospital setting. Concepts are applied to patient assessment and emergency care interventions. Content supports the foundational knowledge requirements identified in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) National EMS Education Standards and prepares students for further study in EMT and paramedic education.
This course provides an overview of tissue types and their identification and function, as well as the integument, skeletal and muscular human body systems.
Laboratory topics include microscopic examination of histological slides of body tissues, gross skeletal morphology, and dissection of a mammal.
This course involves a study of the structural anatomy and physiological functioning of the respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, nervous, and urinary systems.
Laboratory topics include the dissection of neurological organs to study gross and histological structure as well as the evaluation of selected physiological, clinical, and diagnostic tests.
This course studies Mendelian inheritance, chromosome abnormalities, cytogenetics, sex determination, and linkage. Genetic recombination, molecular genetics, and biochemical and population genetics will be addressed, as well as the social impact of cloning and other genetic techniques.
Laboratory sessions include recombination analysis in bacteria, viruses, and Drosophila as well as studying the effects of mutations.
This course is an examination of the importance of plants with special attention to their roles in the natural world. Emphasis is placed on the historical and practical significance of plants as sources of food, medicine, and as a natural resource including the economic, social, and medicinal uses of plants and plant products as related to herbal medicine, invasive species, and other plant-derived resources.
Laboratories will include hands-on experimentation, field work and identification of common flower and tree species located on campus and in the surrounding community.
This course investigates the taxonomy, morphology, pathogenicity, and growth requirements of representative viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
Laboratory sessions include aseptic technique, staining, isolation, culture, and identification of microbes as well as diagnostic biochemical reactions, identification of unknown organisms, and immunological techniques.
This course provides a survey of structural and functional chemical properties of biologically-important molecules and macromolecules such as water, enzymes, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Laboratory sessions will explore enzyme kinetics and the isolation and analysis of macromolecules.
This course provides an introduction to the classification, relationships, structure, and function and metabolism of plants. Topics include photosynthesis, reproduction and development of seed and non-seed plants, levels of organization, form and function of systems, and a survey of major taxa. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate comprehension of plant form and function, including selected taxa of both seed and non-seed plants. Laboratory exercises are coordinated with lecture topics and may include field exercises.
Laboratory exercises are coordinated with lecture topics and may include field exercises.
This course emphasizes the detailed form and function of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems. Pathology from an anatomical and physiological perspective is discussed. Origins, insertions, innervations, and actions of human muscles are studied in detail. Basic biomechanics are addressed.
Laboratory sessions involve regional dissection and study of a mammal.
A study of eukaryotic cell structure, function and regulation. DNA structure, replication, transcription, and translation will be stressed, as well as genetic engineering and recombinant DNA techniques.
Laboratory sessions explore the isolation of DNA reactions, and restriction enzyme mapping.
Pathophysiology is designed to introduce students to the potential causes and outcomes associated with the disease process. Physiologic alterations involved in initiating disease and its progression will be discussed. Specific conditions related to the human body systems will be used to demonstrate these alterations. This is a comprehensive course designed to give students an in-depth understanding of the disease process. Included is an exploration, by body system, of the functional changes that occur due to pathological mechanisms. Mechanical and physical insult, as well as biochemical abnormalities, are discussed from a clinical viewpoint.
This course examines in detail the processes of chemical and biological evolution and tracks the history of life on earth. Concepts will include microevolution, macroevolution, the origin of species, and the origin of major evolutionary innovations. Social Darwinism will be addressed, particularly in terms of how this theory is relevant to understanding the basics and development of sociology and the fundamental differences between society and organisms.
This course involves a thorough examination of the immune response in animals. Topics include the structure, formation, and function of antibodies, antigen-antibody interactions, the complement system, and hypersensitive and autoallergic reactions, as well as immunosuppression.
This course involves a detailed study of the morphology and phylogeny of the Vertebrata including its origins, adaptations, and evolutionary trends from fishes to mammals.
Laboratory work will consist of a comparative examination of the osteology and gross and microscopic anatomy of representative vertebrates.
This course investigates the phylogenetic relationships and evolution and comparative and functional morphology and biology of the different groups of mammals.
Laboratory sessions include the identification of mammal species from most mammalian orders from skulls, skins, and tracks, including native New England species.
BIO445, 3 Credits This course focuses on selected metabolic pathways, the regulation of metabolism, post-translational modification of proteins, cell signaling, mechanisms, and the control of gene expression. The course is designed to blend lectures with class discussion and presentations by students.
This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of bioethics and explores contemporary moral issues that arise in healthcare. Class activities will provide the foundation for critical appraisal of social justice practices relevant to bioethical principles. Selected topics will serve to promote moral reflection relating to human dignity and rights, allocation of healthcare resources, medical provider responsibilities to their patients, and end of life care.
The Research Project is a 2-year Capstone research investigation conducted under the supervision of the department Research Coordinator and topic advisor if applicable. Students choose their project topic and are required to provide a project proposal, literary review, prospectus and final scholarly report.
