BIO 121. Human Biology Lab A laboratory class designed to demonstrate through models, microscopic work, and dissection the information presented in Bio 120. Corequisite: BIO 120. 1 credit.
BIO 250. Human Anatomy & Physiology II A continuation of B iology 240, including the circulatory, respiratory, renal, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems of the human body. Pre-requisite: BIO 240. Co-requisite: BIO 251. 3 credits.
BIO 160. Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology I This course introduces students to the structure and functioning of the human body. The study of basic biochemistry, cells and tissues serves as a foundation for the investigation of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems. This course is designed for students studying medical transcription. Corequisite: BIO 160. 3 credits.
BIO 251. Human Anatomy & Physiology II Lab Physiological experimentation designed to illustrate topics covered in BIO 250. Co-requisite: BIO 250. 1 credit BIO 254. Foundations of Pathophysiology This course examines the foundational basis of human disease, exploring its mechanisms and models, and its relationship to human physiological mechanisms. The course starts with the basics of pathogenesis, and explores the underlying mechanisms and models of disease which include, infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, and parasites), genetics, inflammation, hypersensitivity and autoimmunity, ecological (physical and chemical) agents, neoplasms, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, malnutrition, General Adaptive Syndrome (stress), and the aging process. The prerequisites of Human Anatomy and Physiology I & II (BIO 240 & BiO 250), along with their labs (BIO 241 & B IO251), are needed to ensure foundational knowledge in the basics of cellular, histological and systemic anatomy and physiology expanded within this course. 4 credits.
BIO 161. Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology I Laboratory This course serves to help the students better visualize the information studied in BIO 160. Corequisite: BIO 160 1 credit. BIO 162. Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology I This course is a continuation of BIO 160 and focuses on the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems. Corequisite: BIO 163. 3 credits. BIO 163. Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology I Laboratory This course demonstrates the principles discussed in BIO 162 through dissection and laboratory experimentation, Corequisite: BIO 162 1 credit.
BIO 294. Parasitology The study of biology of parasitic and pathogenic microorganisms that cause harm and disease in other organisms, especially plants and animals. The parasites discussed in this course may include fungi, protists, viruses, roundworms and flatworms as well as the animals that act as vectors and intermediate hosts in the transmission of these pathogens from host to host. 3 credits.
BIO 180. Microorganisms An introductory study of microorganisms directly impacting human health and society, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protists. Topics include taxonomy and identification of medically important taxa, human defense mechanisms, symbioses, course of infections, epidemiology, and food sciences. Does not fulfill Biology major requirements. Corequisite: BIO 181. 3 credits. BIO 181. Microorganisms Lab Introduction to the methods of identification and culturing of medically important microorganisms and viruses. Emphasis on general and specialized culturing methods, staining techniques, and growth experiments. Corequisite: BIO 180. 1 credit. BIO 190. Disease Process An introductory study of common human diseases and conditions including prevention, etiology, signs and sympton, diagnostic and treatment modalities and prognoses, This course is oriented to medical transcription and coding specialist students. Prerequisite: BIO 160/162. 3credits. BIO 240. Human Anatomy & Physiology I A study of the structural and functional relationships of cells, tissues,organs, and systems of the human body. Emphasis is placed on the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Corequisite: BIO 241 Prerequisite: BIO 120 or 160. 3 credits. BIO 241. Human Anatomy & Physiology I Lab A detailed study of human anatomy coupled with an extensive mammalian dissection.Corequisite: BIO 240. 1 credit.
