BIOL 101Essential Biology I w/Lab4
This course will provide students with an introduction to the fundamental laws, theories, and concepts of biology. Topics include chemical principles and the biological chemistry associated with cellular structure and function; taxonomy and the organization of life; the structure and function of macromolecules; the basic structure of cells; energy and cellular respiration; the genetic basis of cellular division, regulation, and the means of inheritance; the mechanistic approaches to cellular signaling; microbiology and the mechanisms employed by both foreign and host defenses. The laboratory component of this course is delivered using virtual labs and interactive simulations with detailed instruction and demonstrations from an experienced instructor.
equivalent. A continued examination of the fundamental laws, theories, and concepts of biology. Topics include genetics, the molecular basis of replication, transcription, translation, and gene regulation; the effects of mutations on gene expression; endocrine signaling and the associated disease states; neuron action potentials and signaling cascades; muscle contraction and reflexes; principles of homeostasis and the associated feedback mechanisms relative to blood osmolarity, blood pressure and thermal regulation; an introduction to pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and the process of clinical trials; epidemiology, and the global impact, surveillance, and investigation of infectious diseases. The laboratory component of this course is delivered using virtual labs and interactive simulations with detailed instruction and demonstrations from an experienced instructor.
A systematic approach to learning the language required to practice in a medically related field. The course will provide the ability to identify, build and recognize terminology used to describe the human body as well as representative pathological processes, procedures, conditions and diseases that may affect it.
This course is designed to teach the basic concepts of both classic and modern genetics. Students will study the functions and structures of chromosomes and their importance in genetic transmission to offspring. They will learn the fundamental process of genetic information transfer from DNA to functional protein products. This course will discuss the importance of genetics in understanding inheritable human diseases, including discussions of how heredity and the environment play a role in affecting our genetic constitutions and the development of disease.
This is the first course in a sequence of two covering human anatomy and physiology. Human Anatomy and Physiology I introduces basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology and discusses several major concepts, including various tissue types in the body and the structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, and sensory systems. Case studies throughout the course provide experience applying these concepts to real-world scenarios. In addition, the laboratory component of this course is delivered using virtual labs and interactive simulations with detailed instruction and demonstrations from an experienced instructor.
w/Lab (4) Physiology I or equivalent. This is the second course in a sequence of two covering human anatomy and physiology. Human Anatomy and Physiology II covers the anatomy and physiology of Geneva College 20 several systems in the body, including the circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, in addition to discussing homeostatic mechanisms. Case studies throughout the course provide experience applying these concepts to real-world scenarios. In addition, the laboratory component of this course is delivered using virtual labs and interactive simulations with detailed instruction and demonstrations from an experienced instructor.
A systematic examination of the microbial world, with an emphasis on pathogens. Topics covered include morphology, physiology, and genetics as well as the metabolic and enzymatic reactions associated. Strategic techniques for the growth, isolation and visualization of microbes are included as are microscopic and diagnostic methods. The causative agents and treatment strategies for various pathologies are emphasized. Viral composition, replication and the associated disease states are also covered. The laboratory component of this course is delivered using virtual labs with detailed instruction and demonstrations from an experienced microbiologist.
This course is designed to cover the basic principles and concepts related to the structure and function of the nervous system. The course will begin with a discussion of the structure of the nervous system and neurons, including how neurons communicate with one another. Specific methodologies related to neuroscience research will also be covered. Further modules in the course will cover sensory systems, motor movement, motivation, homeostasis, emotion, stress, learning, and memory.
A systematic examination of the dynamics between functional adaptations, disruptions, and compensatory mechanisms during abnormal physiological processes. Analysis of the sequences of changes leading to various disease states within the main body systems will be coupled to the specific principles of prevention, diagnosis, and treatments.
