PREREQUISITE: Regular admission status
This is an introductory course for science and non-science majors. It covers
physical, chemical, and biological principles common to all organisms.
These principles are explained through a study of cell structure and function,
cellular reproduction, basic biochemistry, cell energetics, the process of
photosynthesis, and Mendelian and molecular genetics. Also included are
the scientific method, basic principles of evolution, and an overview of the
diversity of life with emphasis on viruses, prokaryotes, and protists. A 120-
minute laboratory is required. CORE
PREREQUISITE: BIO 103
This course is an introduction to the basic ecological and evolutionary
relationships of plants and animals and a survey of plant and animal diversity
including classification, morphology, physiology, and reproduction. A 180-
minute laboratory is required. CORE
PREREQUISITE: BIO 103
Human Anatomy and Physiology I covers the structure and function of the
human body. Included is an orientation of the human body, basic principles
of chemistry, a study of cells and tissues, metabolism, joints, the
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, and the senses.
Dissection, histological studies, and physiology are featured in the laboratory
experience. A 120-minute laboratory is required.
PREREQUISITE: BIO 103 & BIO 201
Human Anatomy and Physiology II covers the structure and function of the
human body. Included is a study of basic nutrition, basic principles of water,
electrolyte, and acid-base balance, the endocrine, respiratory, digestive,
excretory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and reproductive systems. Dissection,
histological studies, and physiology are featured in the laboratory
experience. A 120-minute laboratory is required.
PREREQUISITE: BIO 103
(RECOMMENDED 4 SEMESTER HOURS OF CHEMISTRY).
This course includes historical perspectives, cell structure and function,
microbial genetics, infectious diseases, immunology, distribution, physiology,
culture, identification, classification, and disease control of microorganisms.
The laboratory experience includes micro-techniques, distribution, culture,
identification, and control. Two 120-minute laboratories are required.
PREREQUISITE: BIO 201, BIO 202 AND BIO 220.
Human Pathophysiology covers the nature, etiology, prognosis, prevention,
and therapeutics of human disease. A 120-minute laboratory is required. |
