Biology in Action: Join a Live ClassThe classes listed below are available for you to visit. Select a date and class offering to register. COURSE: CONCEPTS OF ZOOLGY (BIOL 211)Study of invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Classification, reproduction, development, ecology, physiology, behavior, genetics, scientific methodology (including simple statistical approaches), and evolution. Laboratory studies include microscopy, dissections, live observations, computer exercises and experimentation. OFFERED: Monday, Wednesday, Friday COURSE: HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY II (BIOL 255)Study of the structure and function of the human body. This second semester of a two-semester sequence deals with the development, histology, gross anatomy, function and pathophysiology of the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. OFFERED: Monday, Wednesday, Friday COURSE: CELL & DEVELOPMENT BIOLOGY (BIOL 362)Cell structure and function, including cell ultrastructure, methods used in cell biology research, cell motility, signal transduction, cell division, macromolecules, metabolism and the cytomembrane system. Basic concepts in developmental biology are also covered: fertilization, early embryonic cleavage in model systems, cell-cell communication, extracellular matrix and research methods. Examples from developmental biology are employed to illustrate the functions and roles of cellular structures and processes. Laboratory includes isolation of cell components, fertilization and cleavage in sea urchins, microscopy and other techniques used in the study of cell and developmental biology. OFFERED: Monday, Wednesday, Friday COURSE: MAMMALOGY (BIOL 415)The study of the ecology, behavior, conservation, evolution, and physiology of mammals. Lab work will focus on mammal identification and field techniques to trap and survey for mammals. OFFERED: Monday, Wednesday |
