NSA 101 INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY &
PHYSIOLOGY |
|
This lecture-laboratory course involves the study of the
structure and function of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the human body. Such basic scientific principles as cell biology and genetics are included.
|
| NSA 105 PRINCIPLES OF ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY |
|
This is a basic course of human anatomy and physiology. The structure and function of each of the systems and each
of their abnormalities are discussed. This is a lecture/
laboratory combination course. Laboratory sessions include
use of dissection materials, models, microscopic specimens,
and basic physiological experiments.
|
| NSA 205 HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY |
|
A course of study designed to build on the principles
presented in NSA 105 Principles of Anatomy and
Physiology. The materials presented will provide increased
depth in understanding the function, regulation, control and
interrelationships of the major human organ systems. This is
a lecture/laboratory combination course. Laboratory
sessions are coordinated with lecture topics.
|
|
NSB 120 BIOLOGY |
|
An introductory survey course covering the major principles
and unifying theories of biology. This course will provide
the beginning student with a basic understanding of
biological principles encompassing basic biochemistry, cell
biology, cell division, genetics, diversity and evolution and
ecology. This is a lecture/laboratory combination course
and is designed to meet the needs of students with limited
science background.
|
|
NSB 121 GENERAL BIOLOGY I |
|
A general study of the principles and processes of biology
and the nature of biological investigation, with emphasis on
cellular biology, respiration, photosynthesis and genetics.
This course, together with NSB 122 General Biology,
provides a basic background for further work in the
biological sciences.
|
|
NSB 122 GENERAL BIOLOGY II |
|
A general study of the principles and processes of biology
and the nature of biological investigation, with emphasis on
evolution, speciation, ecology and the diversity of life
(includes taxonomy and classifications of organisms).
Laboratory investigations coordinated with lecture topics.
|
|
NSB 230 MICROBIOLOGY |
|
This is an introduction to general microbiology. Topics
include general properties of bacteria and fungi, disinfection,
sterilization, sources and means of infection, infectious
diseases and immunity. This is a lecture/laboratory
combination course. In the laboratory, students will prepare
culture media, isolate and propagate and study
morphological and physiological characteristics of both
pathogens and non-pathogens.
|
|
NSB 275 BIOLOGY RESEARCH PROJECT |
|
The Biology Research Project is a capstone experience in
Biology for the student seeking an Associate of Science
Degree. In this course the student will pose a question or
problem in biology, design and conduct an experiment or
investigation, and report the results of their experiment or
investigation to an appropriate student-level publication or
present their results at a student-level science conference.
The course will allow the student to bring together their
college course experiences in science, mathematics and
communications while pursuing advanced work in an area of
their own interest. A departmental exam covering skills
learned in the science core will be administered at the end of
this course.
|
|
NSB 990 BIOLOGICAL FIELD STUDIES |
|
The course will offer students the opportunity to research a
question or problem in the field of biology. The student will
propose research ideas, design experiments and conduct
research, and report results in the same way as any scientist
would. Scientific ethics and the related social issues of
science will be considered prior to any experiments. Topics
will vary and students may repeat this course for credit.
