BIO-302L |
Vertebrate Anatomy |
This is an organ-based study of select specimens from the vertebrate classes, and includes a number of special topics, e. g. adaptations to flight. The laboratory promotes skill development, including a variety of investigative techniques. 3 laboratory hours per week. |
BIO 304 |
Human Physiology |
Human Physiology explores the fundamental concepts and principles of |
human biology. It also investigates the regulatory mechanisms of all human |
||
body systems at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels focusing on the |
||
integration of body systems. Deviations from normality associated with |
||
pathological conditions will be discussed to help demonstrate important |
||
concepts in human physiology. 3 lecture hours per week. Pre-requisites: |
||
BIO203, BIO204, CHM151, and CHM152. |
||
BIO-305 |
Biology of Microorganisms |
A study of the biology and chemistry of microorganisms including their |
morphology, metabolism, genetics, growth and control, as well as their |
||
interactions with host cells. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate |
||
fall semesters. |
||
BIO-305L |
Biology of Microorganisms |
Basic microbiological laboratory techniques including those used for the |
isolation, cultivation, enumeration, and identification of microorganisms. 3 |
||
laboratory hours per week. Offered in alternate fall semesters. |
||
BIO-307 |
Eukaryotic Microbiology |
A continuation of BIO 305 focusing solely upon eukaryotic microorganisms. |
The course will be divided into three sections focusing upon the morphology, |
||
metabolism, evolution, and ecology of the three categories of eukaryotic |
||
microorganisms: Protists, fungi, and helminthes. 3 lecture hours per week. |
||
Offered in alternate spring semesters. |
BIO-310 |
Mycology |
A detailed study of important fungi with emphasis on their biology, physiology and significance. Current research on the control of fungi and treatment of fungal diseases is examined. 4 lecture / laboratory hours per week. |
BIO-311 |
Virology |
A comprehensive modern approach to the field of virology that focuses on |
the biology, application, and control of viruses. Topics include, but are not |
||
limited to, virus morphology and replication, evolution and extinction, |
||
emerging pathogens, gene and bacteriophage therapy, antiviral drugs, and |
||
virus-immune system interactions. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in |
||
alternate fall semesters. |
BIO-312 |
Parasitology |
Study of the morphology, distribution, symptoms, treatment, prevention, |
and control of important parasites. 2 lecture hours per week. |
