4 courses with the subject BIOL, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BIOL 1106Principles of Biology4
Credit(s) 3 credits lecture/1 credit lab Biological scientific inquiry and methodology will be taught within a laboratory and lecture context. Cell biology topics will emphasize cell structure, function, and the biochemical processes of respiration, metabolism, and photosynthesis. The study of heredity and genetics will focus on the Mendelian genetics and the molecular basis of inheritance, DNA, RNA, mitosis, and meiosis. Other topics include mechanisms and processes of evolution and current societal issues and breakthroughs in biology.
ENGL 0900 with a grade of C or better or appropriate placement score MnTC Goal Area(s): 2 and 3
BIOL 1130Human Biology4
Credit(s) 3 credits lecture/1 credit lab This course covers the basic principles of the organization, structures, and functions of the human body. Topics include: general biological theories; anatomical of each body system; basic physiological process and maintenance of homeostasis; human genetics and inheritance principles and their relation to evolution; and connections between the human body, societal issues, and disease. Student will make observations and analyze data related to the human body through laboratory exercises. (MN Transfer Goals 2 and 3)
ENGL 0900 with a grade of C or better or appropriate placement score MnTC Goal Area(s): 2 and 3
BIOL 2100Anatomy and Physiology I4
Credit(s) 3 credits lecture/1 credit lab Anatomy & Physiology I (A&P I) is a course designed to prepare students for advanced coursework required for health or allied healthcare educational pathways. This course emphasizes the anatomical and physiological organization and interrelationships of the major systems that comprise the human body. Building from the knowledge gained in Biology 1106, A&P I will focus mainly on the following systems: integumentary, musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine, and sensory. Laboratory dissection, experiments, and computer-assisted instruction will provide students with the necessary foundation of knowledge required for successful transition into A&P II.
Credit(s) 3 credits lecture/1 credit lab Anatomy & Physiology II is a course that builds on the foundation of Anatomy & Physiology I to prepare students for advanced coursework required for Health Care Programs. This course continues to examine the human body from an anatomical and physiological examination of the following systems: digestive, urinary, respiratory, circulatory, immune, and reproduction. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of human gross anatomy by participating in animal dissection, lab experiments, and computer-assisted instruction, while examining the interrelationships of the physiology that drives the human body.
