This is an investigative laboratory to support BIOL 1405. This is a course designed to teach non-science major students about uses of plants including cultivation and history of plant uses. The course includes studies of plant populations and diversity. It also involves the study of plant anatomy and physiology with emphasis on plant disease and evolution. This laboratory course is designed to provide students with the investigative techniques needed to study the cell, plant physiology, and energy-related processes.
Students study the environmental importance of ecosystems and biodiversity.
This is the first of a two-course sequence in human anatomy and physiology designed to meet the requirements for nursing, dental hygiene, physical education, and other health science majors. Topics covered include animal cell structure and function, cell chemistry, cell division, metabolism, tissues, skeletal system, muscle system, and nervous system. This course is a continuation of BIOL 1611 and covers the essential facts of human anatomy and physiology of the various systems that were not considered in BIOL 1611. Topics covered include metabolism and the digestive system, cardiovascular system, respiration, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. This is a laboratory covering blood, heart and circulation, respiration, digestion, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
