A study of the early development and the adult structures of mammalian organism. Emphasis is on the normal digestive, cardiopulmonary andurogenital systems of the smaller laboratory mammals. Dissection is required in the laboratory syllabus. 4 credits LEC 3 hrs., LAB 3 hrs. A detailed study of the microscopic structure of human tissues, organs, and organ systems.
Special emphasis is placed on the relationship of structure to function.
Laboratory sessions involve both the preparation of tissue slides incorporating fixation and staining techniques as well as extensive observation of prepared sections. Open to both career and transfer students. A study of the fundamental principles of chemistry and application to chemical reactions. Topics include the structure of the atom, concepts of matter, mass relationships for pure substances and chemical reactions, solutions, electronic structure, the chemical bond, nuclear reactions and gases. Laboratory experiments to supplement and illustrate principles studied in CHM 106.
