    Human physiology pertains to the study of the physical, biochemical and mechanical functions of the various human organs and the relationships between these organ systems. Its knowledge is essential in understanding diseases and the development of modern medical therapies. This class is critically important to undergraduate students aspiring to enter professional field in health-science such as medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, physical and occupational therapies, education, and research. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week.

    Examination of the ways in which interaction among personalities, instrumentation, and ideas shape the development of biology - past, present, and future. Three lecture hours a week.
  • 1.00 - 4.00 Credits

    Variable topics related to zoology as announced in the class schedule; may include medical entomology, biostatistics, primatology, etc., and may be taught with a laboratory section. Prerequisite:    ZOOL 1110 and ZOOL 1120 and ZOOL 160 and ZOOL 211 and ZOOL 212

    The purpose of this course is to introduce students to human dissection and the teaching of human cadaver anatomy. In so doing, we will (1) provide a uniform laboratory experience for Zoology 2100 (Human Anatomy), (2) teach the students what and how to teach the human anatomy laboratories, (3) provide the students with the opportunity to teach their peers thus providing experience at public speaking, and, (4) reinforce the knowledge base of the students (the power of knowing something by teaching something). Prerequisite:    ZOOL 2100

    The purpose of this course is to further expose and train students in human cadaver dissection and the teaching of human cadaver anatomy. In so doing, we will (1) provide a uniform laboratory experience for Zoology 2100 (Human Anatomy), (2) teach these advanced students what and how to mentor their junior colleagues in teaching the human anatomy laboratories, (3) provide these advanced students with the opportunity to teach both the 2100 students and other student instructors, thus further improving their public speaking, (4) place these advanced students in a more senior leadership position among their lab instructor peers, and (5) further reinforce the knowledge base of the students (the power of knowing something by teaching something).Due to the complex and pedagogical nature, this course can be taken up to 4 times. Each semester, the focus of the lecture portion of this course will vary from: histological anatomy, developmental anatomy, evolution and pathological/clinically-relevant anatomy. In addition, the prosection assignments each repeated semester will increase in complexity, difficulty and leadership demand. The student instructor experience is maximized by their ability to repeat this unique course by allowing them to capitalize on and improve their past efforts in both the teaching environment and prosection assignment. Prerequisite:    ZOOL 2100 and ZOOL 3099

    Cells form the basis of all life on Earth and an understanding of cells is essential for examining the features of all living things, including evolutionary adaptations. This course explores the fundamentals of cellular structure and function, including bioenergetics, protein function, membrane properties, cell transport, and cell signaling. Research techniques are emphasized throughout. Applications of cell biology, such as stem cell biology, tissue organization and cancer are explored. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: ZOOL 1110 and the CHEM 1210 and CHEM 1220 series, or approval of instructor. Prerequisite:    CHEM 1110 and CHEM 1120 and CHEM 1210 and CHEM 1220 and ZOOL 1110 and ZOOL 1110

    Genetics is the foundation for all of biology, from anatomy, physiology, and cell biology, to ecology, behavior and evolution. This course is a comprehensive exploration of genetics, from molecular genetics to organismal genetics to population genetics. Specific topics include DNA and chromosome structure, regulation of gene expression, mutation, Mendelian genetics, and population genetics. The focus is on applications and current research, including biotechnology, forensics, medicine, genetic counseling, wildlife management, and evolution. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisite:    MATH 1220 and MATH 1050 and MATH 1080 and MATH 1210 and ZOOL 1110
