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 Laboratory |
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. 3.00 | |||
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. |

||
BIO-313 |
Immunology |
The mechanisms, cells, and molecules involved in immunological responses will be examined in this course. Emphasis is on comparison of antibody and cytokine responses. Resistance to infectious organisms, allergic responses, tissue transplantation, and autoimmune diseases will also be discussed. 3 lecture hours per week. |
|
Offered in alternate spring semesters. |

Advanced Physiology I |
Advanced Physiology explores the regulatory mechanisms involved in maintaining and controlling a homeostatic environment at the subcellular, cellular, and organismal levels. The course begins with a survey of the principles of regulatory and cell physiology and continues with an investigation of electrophysiology and the physiology of the human nervous, muscular, and endocrine systems. This course emphasizes an understanding of how the body functions under normal conditions( in the absence of disease). Deviations from normality associated with pathological conditions will be discussed to help demonstrate important concepts in human physiology. 3 lecture |
|
hours per week. |

BIO-318 |
Advanced Physiology II |
Advanced Physiology II is a continuation of the study of homeostatic regulatory mechanisms using selected organ systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, reproductive, and immune systems. 3 lecture |
|
hours per week. |
