Cell Biology: Bio 4205

Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II: Bio 1205 & 1206

Bio 4205: Biology of the Eukaryotic Cell

INTRODUCTION: Cell Biology is a study of cell structure and functions that determine function of multicellular organisms as a whole. This field of study arose from a union of the disciplines of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology as well as anatomical cell biology. As such, the discipline of cell biology will encompass a broad spectrum of investigative techniques and a vast base of knowledge. In this course, structure and function of cell organelles and important macromolecules are studied as well as cell biological processes and their regulation. This material provides an important foundation for the study of biological processes at the organismal level such as endocrinology, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology.

Bio 1205 & 1206:  Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II

INTRODUCTION: Human Anatomy and Physiology is a two semester lecture and laboratory course in which a systems-based approach is used to study human form and function.  Laboratories are critical for both detailed anatomical study but also for applied learning of material particularly critical for understanding of physiological processes.   This course is a cornerstone in the medical, nursing, or the allied health fields where basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology is essential for the challenge of the clinical experience.

 

INTRODUCTION: Cancer Biology (Special topics) is a one semester lecture course that provides an  overview of the biological basis of cancer with an emphasis on cell biology relevant to the understanding of treatment strategies, past, present, and future.  Foundation courses in either Cell Biology or Molecular Biology are important for comprehension of cell level processes that underlie the cancer process.
