BI 0401 |
Biology |
3 Credit Hours |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
|||
|
This course presents a
study of the basic concepts of living matter with emphasis on cells, tissue,
and organism structure and function.
An evolutionary approach with emphasis on classification, inheritance,
and the ecology of plants and animals is used. This course is intended for students whose
concentration is other than biology, with emphasis on knowledge of the
scientific method of the chemical component of living organism and the
fundamental relationship between animals and plants. |

|
BI 0402 |
General Botany |
5 Credit Hours |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
|||
|
A study of plant growth,
physiology, morphology, reproduction, taxonomy, and evolution. This course is open to anyone interested;
however, it is directed toward students with a biology concentration. Laboratory
exercises accompany lectures. |
||||
|
BI 0404 |
Environmental Life
Science w/Lab |
5 Credit Hours |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
|||
|
This general education
course provides an overview of life science which includes general biology
and general ecology topics. This class is directed toward elementary education
majors and to provide these majors with a comprehensive exposure to biology,
as well as experiments and investigations that can be safely carried out in
the elementary classroom. This course will not fulfill any requirements for
biology majors; it will fulfill life science requirement for non-biology
majors only. This 5 hour course includes 2 hours of lab and requires students
to document their lab work and experiences through the use of a paper file
system or the computer. |

|
BI 0407 |
General Zoology |
5 Credit Hours |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
|||
|
Fundamental principles
and processes of animal life including relationships, morphology, life
history, ecology, genetics, and evolution.
This course is open to anyone interested; however, it is directed
toward students with a biology concentration. Laboratory exercises accompany
lecture. |

BI 0411 |
Microbiology |
5 Credit Hours |
||
|
Recommended
as a Prerequisite: |
BI 0401 Biology (3 credit hour) or BI 0431 Biology (5 credit hour) or BI 0412 Anatomy and Physiology (5 credit hour) Students must be enrolled in or have completed: CH 1951 Intro to Chemistry (5 credit hour) or CH 1961 College Chemistry I (5 credit hour) |
|||
|
This course presents a
study of microorganisms and their morphological, physiological, and
biochemical characteristic response to the environment as well as their
influence on the surroundings. Their
relationship to the anatomy and physiology of the human body, aspects of
parasitism, infection state, body defenses, and methods of control and
prevention of infections will also be studied. Laboratory experiments will be conducted
relating to bacterial growth, isolation and pure culture techniques as well
as physiological characteristics of different microorganisms. |

|
BI 0412 |
Anatomy and Physiology |
5 Credit Hours |
||
|
Recommended
as a Prerequisite: |
High School Biology with an A or B BI 0401 Biology (3 credit hour) or BI 0431 Biology (5 credit hour) |
|||
|
Anatomy and Physiology is
the study of the structure and function of different systems of the human
body. The course covers functional
anatomy with emphasis on basic principles and physiological activities of
different systems of the body. The
laboratory is designed to provide hands-on study of the organ systems studied
in the lecture portion of the course. Cat dissection is a mandatory and
important portion of the laboratory study. This course meets the requirements of the
students interested in nursing, respiratory therapy, radiography, physical
education, biology, and other allied health courses. |

BI
0413 |
Case Histories in Anatomy
and Physiology |
1 Credit Hour |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
Completed College Anatomy
and Physiology, or currently be enrolled in 0412 Anatomy and Physiology. |
|||
|
This course is to provide
an applied review of Anatomy and Physiology by using case histories of
diseases. It will require the student to integrate the body systems and apply
their knowledge of normal anatomy and physiology. This course is designed
for health science majors, especially those interested in direct patient
care, and is also a recommended elective for those desiring increased
experience with anatomy and physiology or pathophysiology. The class will be
presented by case histories of major disease processes. By the end of the
class, all body systems will have been reviewed. Students will be required to
interact with each other in small groups as well as with the instructor, and
make presentations in class. |

|
BI 0422 |
Principles and Concepts
of Genetics (IO) |
3 Credit Hours |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
|||
|
Mendelian and physical
basis of inheritance, development, population genetics, medical genetics,
chemical basis of heredity, and current issues in human and medical genetics. |
||||
|
BI 0431 |
Biology |
5 Credit Hours |
||
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
|||
|
This course presents a
study of the basic concepts of living organisms using an evolutionary
approach with emphasis on classification, inheritance, and the ecology of
plants and animals. This course is
intended for students whose concentration is biology and related disciplines
with emphasis on knowledge of the scientific method and the chemical
components and functions of cells, and tissues and organisms structure and
function. Laboratory exercises are
designed to emphasize and support the course concepts and stresses the
scientific method of investigation. |
