BIOL 130 - Anatomy and Physiology I This course analyzes the structure and function of cells, tissue, and organ systems. Focus is placed on the muscular, skeletal, and circulatory systems as they relate to human movement and homeostasis. structure and physiology as well as the
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
Prerequisites & Notes Co-requisite: Students must also register for the corresponding lab, BIOL 132.

BIOL 131 - Anatomy and Physiology II This is the second of a two-semester course dellineating the structure and function of the human body. The cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems and their roles in the maintenance of homeostasis are revealed. Selected topics in human development, genetics, and the special senses are also discussed.
Prerequisites & Notes BIOL 130/132. Co-requisite: Students must also register for the corresponding lab, BIOL 133.

BIOL 214 - Introduction to Medical Microbiology The objectives of this course are to examine the structure and function of microbial human pathogens and to study their relationship to infection and disease in a lecture and laboratory format. The dynamic mechanisms of host-parasite interactions are emphasized. Special consideration is given to the problems of host-microbe association in immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients. The actions and the selectivity of antibiotics in terms of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellular characteristics and the potential dangers associated with their widespread use and abuse are discussed.
Prerequisites & Notes BIOL 121-122 and 123-124, CHEM 121-122 and 123-124.

BIOL 230 - Animal Biology Lectures and videos give students an understanding and appreciation of selected
aspects of the biology of vertebrates and invertebrates. Students learn about animal migrations, reproduction, courtship behavior, foraging and predation.
Prerequisites & Notes BIOL 121/123 and 122/124, or BIOL 101/102.

BIOL 241 - Developmental Biology The development of organisms from conception to adulthood is explained in this course. Students learn the interactions and changes that occur between the one cell stage and the mature organism. Comparisons between the development of model organisms and humans are discussed.
Prerequisites & Notes BIOL 121-123 and 122-124 and CHEM 121-123 and 122-124; CHEM 221-224. Corequsite: Students must register for BIOL 242.

BIOL 242 - Developmental Biology Laboratory The maturation of organisms from conception to adulthood is revealed in this course. Students examine the development of model organisms, from fertilization through the embryotic stages, and observe regenerative processes. Molecular methods to elucidate the mechanisms of development will be utilized.
Prerequisites & Notes BIOL 121-124 and CHEM 121-124. Corequisite: Students must register for BIOL 241.

BIOL 250 - Human Structure and Function I This course covers human physiology and functional anatomy for students in biological sciences and allied health. Emphasis is placed on physiological, cellular, and molecular processes. Students develop an appreciation of the process of scientific discovery and critical thinking, particularly as it relates to medicine and therapeutic disciplines.
Prerequisites & Notes BIOL 121-122 and 123-124, CHEM 121-122 and 123-124. Co-requisite: Students must also register for the corresponding lab, BIOL 252 unless previously taken.
