216 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT<br />

Bio 445 Vertebrate Physiology<br />

credit 4 hrs.<br />

Basic functions of the vertebrate body are studied in terms of physical and chemical principles. The<br />

important functions of the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, glandular, muscular, nervous, and reproductive<br />

systems are discussed. Three 1-hour lecture periods and one 3-hour laboratory period.<br />

Prerequisites: Bio 148, Chem 148, and Phys 241.<br />

Bio 448 Cell & Molecular Biology<br />

credit 4 hrs.<br />

A comprehensive study of the structure and function of cells, including biochemistry and molecular<br />

approaches. Topics to be covered include cellular organization, metabolism, nucleic acid structure and<br />

function, protein synthesis, gene expression, and regulation. Prerequisites: Bio 148; Bio 248, and<br />

Chem 248. Three 1-hour lecture periods and one 3-hour laboratory period. An honors section is<br />

offered.<br />

Bio 450 In-Service Training and Instrumentation<br />

credit 5 hrs.<br />

This course involves the study of the basic principles of microscopy (including histotechniques, instrumentation<br />

theory, and application), as well as in-service training. Two-fifths of the course deals with<br />

theory and laboratory exercises; three-fifths of the course consists of on-the-job experience in a health<br />

agency or institution based on the student's career interests. Students spend the last weeks of the<br />

semester, for a total of 135 hours, on the job. Prerequisites: Senior standing and permission of the<br />

instructor.<br />

PROGRAM OF STUDY IN BIOLOGY FOR PRE-HEALTH PREPARATIONS<br />

Biology majors preparing for entry into health professional schools to pursue careers in medicine, dentistry,<br />

optometry, osteopathy, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and the allied health professions should<br />

follow the Program of Study in Biology. In addition, students interested in primary health care careers<br />

such as medicine and dentistry will strengthen their potential for admission to and success in such<br />

schools with the addition of Math 144 Calculus II, Chem 446 Biochemistry, Bio 448 Cell and Molecular<br />

Biology, and other upper level science courses.
