BIOL 2401 Anatomy and Physiology I............. 4:3:2
Anatomy and Physiology I is the first part of a two course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. The lab provides a handson learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology. Systems to be studied include integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and special senses. Prerequisite( s): TSI complete in reading.( See Placement Guidelines, page 17).
BIOL 2402 Anatomy & Physiology II................ 4:3:2
Anatomy and Physiology II is the second part of a two course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive( including nutrition), urinary( including fluid and electrolyte balance), and reproductive( including human development and genetics). Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology. Systems to be studied include endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive( including nutrition), urinary( including fluid and electrolyte balance), and reproductive( including human development and genetics). Prerequisite( s): BIOL 2401.
BIOL 2420 Microbiology for Non-Science Majors................................................................ 4:3:2
This course covers basic microbiology and immunology and is primarily directed at prenursing, pre-allied health, and non-science majors. It provides an introduction to historical concepts of the nature of microorganisms, microbial diversity, the importance of microorganisms and acellular agents in the biosphere, and their roles in human and animal diseases. Major topics include bacterial structure as well as growth, physiology, genetics, and biochemistry of microorganisms. Emphasis is on medical microbiology, infectious diseases, and public health. The lab covers basics of culture and identification of bacteria and microbial ecology. This course is primarily directed at pre-nursing and other pre-allied health majors and covers basics of microbiology. Emphasis is on medical microbiology, infectious diseases, and public health. Prerequisite( s): TSI complete in reading( See Placement Guidelines, page 17).
