This course is designed to acquaint students of science, health science, and other majors with the origins and applications of the technical terms they are likely to encounter.
FOUNDATIONS OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES I
BIO 121
First semester of a two semester course designed for majors in biological sciences. Topics include: biological chemistry, cell structure and function, cellular metabolism (enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis), information flow (DNA, RNA, protein), principles of genetics, and survey of viruses, prokaryotes, and protists.
BIOLOGY FOR NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
BIO 185
This course is designed to acquaint students pursuing select careers in health sciences with the fundamental principles of living organisms. Includes an introduction to cells and tissues, organ systems, growth, basic physiological processes, metabolism, reproduction and inheritance.
GENERAL SURVEY OF MICROBIOLOGY
BIO 251
Survey of micro-organisms and their activities: emphasis on structure, taxonomy, function, ecology, nutrition, physiology, pathology, and genetics. Survey of applied microbiology: agricultural, medical, industrial, environment and food. The lab is an introduction to standard techniques and procedures in general microbiology. Lecture, lab, and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
BIO 285
An examination of the structure and function of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels of organization. The integration of these levels of organization within the human organism is emphasized. This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence. Lecture, lab, and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
BIO 286
An examination of the structure and function of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels of organization. The integration of these levels of organization within the human organism is emphasized. This is the second semester of a two-semester sequence. Lecture, lab, and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
BIO 310
This is an introductory course in pathology for nursing majors. This course will provide an understanding of the clinical signs and symptoms of disease and will prepare students for the patients often encountered in clinical practice. Topics covered by this course include: general pathology concepts and pathogenesis of diseases common to all organ systems, the processes of cellular adaptation, inflammation, repair, immunology, cellular accumulation, and neoplasia.
