Biological Sciences

This course is designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of the structure and function of the human nervous system, with a major focus on neuroanatomy. The basic principles of cellular neuroscience, neurophysiology, as well as, the sensory and motor pathways will be discussed in detail. Clinically relevant applications will be discussed when relevant. The laboratory component of this course will use cadavers and human tissue to study head and neck structures. Prerequisites: BIOL 241 or BIOL 251 and BIOL 293 must be passed with a C (2.0) or better.

Study of the interactions between microorganisms, particularly bacteria, and their environment. Emphasis is placed on nutrient cycling and the influence of microbes on global mineral dynamics. The effects of physical and chemical factors on the distribution and activity of microbes in their environments and the applications (biotechnology) of these interactions are studied. Prerequisites: BIOL 316 and BIOL 317 or BIOL 318 must be passed with a grade of C or higher.

Supervised projects and practica selected to meet the specific objectives of the student.

Study of special topics. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.

This physiology course will focus solely on cardiovascular physiology. Lectures will focus on basic and advance cardiovascular principles. The laboratory will focus on the use of current cardiovascular research.

Supervised projects and practica selected to meet the specific objectives of the student.

A structured specialty course for students at the senior level. Courses may include lecture and laboratory components. Prerequisites: BIOL 123N and BIOL 124N must be passed with a grade of C (2.0) or higher, junior standing, and permission of instructor.

Study of special topics. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.

This course emphasizes the gross anatomical relationships and the molecular, cellular, physiological, and metabolic process of the integument, musculoskeletal, neural, and immune systems. Students with credit for BIOL 250 cannot receive credit for BIOL 240. Prerequisites: BIOL 121N and BIOL 122N or BIOL 136N and BIOL 137N must be passed with a grade of C or higher.
