plant species encountered. Students will<br />

collect plants and make museum-quality<br />

herbarium mounts. (3 lecture hours/3 lab<br />

hours) (4 semester hours) Fall<br />

Bi 128—Bird Study<br />

Provides an opportunity to learn to<br />

recognize the many species of birds<br />

represented in the college’s study skin<br />

collection. Emphasis is placed on<br />

diagnostic characteristics useful in feld<br />

identifcation. This course introduces<br />

students to the fundamentals of avian<br />

taxonomy and includes a survey of the<br />

museum collection plus a curatorial<br />

project that teaches students how to use<br />

a collection to do research. (2 lecture<br />

hours/3 lab hours) (3 semester hours)<br />

Spring<br />

Bi 130—Anatomy and Physiology i<br />

An in-depth survey of the scientifc<br />

principles involved in the study of human<br />

anatomy and physiology. Pertinent<br />

concepts of chemistry, physics, and<br />

biology are reviewed, with emphasis<br />

on their application to human form<br />

and function. Topics include cytology,<br />

histology, and the integumentary,<br />

skeletomuscular, and neurological<br />

systems. The laboratory consists of an<br />

organized study of the body, including<br />

some dissection, the use of human and<br />

other mammalian organs and anatomical<br />

models, and the use of appropriate<br />

anatomy and physiology software.<br />

Evaluation is based on testing and<br />

laboratory work. NOTE: Repeat of BI<br />

205. Prerequisite: Either a High School<br />

Regents level approved Science (such as<br />

Living Environment and Chemistry) with<br />

a course grade of 75 or better completed<br />

within 5 years of beginning Anatomy &<br />

Physiology, any college level Biology<br />

or Chemistry Lab Science with a course<br />

grade of C or better within the last 10<br />

years, or holding a license in Health felds<br />

(such as LPN, Paramedic/EMT, MT, OT,<br />

PT, Dietician, etc.). (3 lecture hours/3 lab<br />

hours) (4 semester hours) Fall/Spring<br />

Bi 131—Anatomy and Physiology ii<br />

Emphasizes more advanced physiological<br />

concepts and homeostasis. Laboratory<br />

topics involve some in-depth dissection of<br />

specifc organs and organ systems along<br />

with extensive use of anatomical models<br />

and the use of anatomy and physiology<br />

software. Evaluation is based on testing<br />

and laboratory work. NOTE: Repeat of<br />

BI 206. Prerequisite: BI 130. (3 lecture<br />

hours/3 lab hours) (4 semester hours)<br />

Fall/Spring<br />

Bi 134—myology & Kinesiology i<br />

This course offers an in-depth look<br />

at the human muscular system. The<br />

major muscles of the upper and lower<br />

extremities will be discussed, including<br />

their origin, insertion, and functions.<br />

Postural considerations, effective positions<br />

for working these muscles, and stretch<br />

and slack will be presented. Joints<br />

structure and function, nerve innervation,<br />

acupuncture points, and meridian<br />

pathways of these involved muscles will<br />

also be reviewed. (2 lecture hours/3 lab<br />

hours) (3 semester hours) Fall<br />

Bi 135—myology & Kinesiology ii<br />

This course is a continuation of Myology<br />

& Kinesiology I, but will examine<br />

different muscle groups. Muscles of the<br />

axial skeleton will be discussed, including<br />

their origins, insertions, functions<br />

and appropriate positions for working<br />

them. Relevant references to postural<br />

considerations, meridian pathways and<br />

acupuncture points will also be introduced.<br />

In addition to the skeletal muscles, this<br />

course will cover the anatomy of cardiac<br />

and smooth muscles and their role in the<br />

body. Prerequisite: BI 134 with a grade of<br />

C or better. (3 lecture hours/3 lab hours)<br />

(4 semester hours) Spring<br />
