BIO 110General Biology I4
This is an introduction to general biological principles. Topics will include evolution, cell chemistry, cell structure and function, metabolism, cellular reproduction, and genetics. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week.
An introduction to the structure and function of the human body and how homeostasis is maintained. Lecture and laboratory studies will produce a basic understanding of the cells, tissues, organs, and regions of the human body. Topics will include: head, neck, upper limb, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, and back. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week.
The study of the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the human body including but not limited to the chemistry of living organisms, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and integumentary systems. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week.
The physiologic pathology of selected diseases and dysfunctions observed in humans. Development of a knowledge base of current concepts and common conditions observed in health care settings. Prerequisites: BIO 202 or BIO345.
A focus on the underlying principles common to disease processes. This course expands on how alterations of structure and function disrupt the human body as a whole. The course offers students the opportunity to observe various physiological changes of the body and how they manifest impact on various systems by incorporating simulation. Prerequisites: BIO 201 and BIO 202 or BIO 342 and BIO 345. Cross-Listed with RCP361.
A study of the use of microbes in food production, cause and prevention of food spoilage, and foodborne illnesses. Microbes in their natural environment and how their activities affect the environment, soil and soil borne illnesses, water treatment and waterborne illnesses, and usage in biological warfare will be discussed. Prerequisite: BIO 205.
A study that focuses on the branch of anatomy that deals with structure, composition, design, and function of body tissues as it relates to the principles of human physiology. Examination of microscopic cell structure as it correlates with tissue composition and organ function will be discussed. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BIO 202 or BIO 342.
Students will study the human body from an overview of cellular processes and tissue classifications that will then be integrated in the learning of the body systems from a gross and microscopic anatomical perspective. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites- BIO 110, CHE 115.
Students will study the functions of the human body’s cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems and the integrated functions of the body. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO 342, CHE 115
This is a study of the fundamental principles of heredity including the molecular mechanisms by which cellular processes impact eukaryotic cells. Topics include introduction to molecular genetic techniques and genomics, in depth study of structures and chromosomes, the regulation of gene expression, and abnormal regulatory processes that lead to disease. Prerequisites: BIO 110 or BIO 201, CHE 115.
This course builds on the concepts of Anatomy and Physiology I and II using Human Patient Simulators and case study analysis as the principal methodologies. Learning will focus on multi-system interactions which will apply how the body systems impact each other and how they perform when disease is present. The knowledge of the functions of each system will be applied to understanding how body processes occur.
This course links anatomy and physiology of the brain with behavioral function. Neuroscience topics include regulatory physiology, pharmacology, endocrinology, and behaviors related to feeding/appetite, sleep, sex, fear, and anxiety. Pre- Requisite: BIO 120 or BIO 202
This course presents an overview of all major aspects of the field of immunology. This branch of science deals with the innate and adaptive mechanisms the body uses to fight infectious disease and prevent its recurrence. It also covers recognition of foreign or altered cells unrelated to microorganisms such as cells or organs received during transplantation. This course will cover the cells involved, their site production, how they proliferate and respond to foreign antigens. The proteins produced by cells in response to infection and the chemical signals that affect their production are also covered. Some other topic areas included are transplantation serology, hypersensitivity and allergies, hereditary and acquired autoimmune disorders, and vaccines. Prerequisite: BIO 205 or permission of the instructor.
Study of selected topics or current issues in Biology. Provides student an opportunity to explore various topics in Biology with greater detail. Course may be repeated with permission from Chair. Prerequisite: Faculty determine appropriate pre- requisite/co-requisite for each topic.
To prepare students with advanced knowledge of molecular biology and its techniques as it pertains to human health, disease and treatment. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BIO 205, CHE 220.
Compares the normal and abnormal anatomy and physiology of the organs of internal secretion, with major emphasis on the roles of endocrine glands and their hormonal secretions in integration, control systems, metabolism and development. Other topics include tools and techniques for identifying endocrine diseases and monitoring its status. Prerequisite: BIO 201 and BIO 202 or BIO 342 and BIO 345.
Focuses on the cell physiology and genetics involved in the process of cell transformation. Other topics included the mechanics of cell growth and division when altered, and the interactions between tumors and their host. Prerequisite: BIO 350
