BIO 7A HUMAN ANATOMY 5.0 Units Structural organization of the human body: gross and microscopic structure of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems, from cellular to organ system levels of organization. This course is primarily intended for nursing, allied health, kinesiology, and other health BIO 7B HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY 5.0 Units Function and regulation of the human body. This course examines general, cellular, and molecular interactions that integrate the organ systems to maintain homeostasis. Human responses and computer simulations are used to collect and analyze data. Designed for nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and other health sciences majors. Prerequisite: BIO 7A and CHEM 1A or CHEM 30A or CHEM 31 with a minimum grade of C Strongly Recommended: CHEM 30B with a minimum grade of C and Eligibility for ENG 1A BIO 7C MICROBIOLOGY 5.0 Units This course focuses on viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and helminths, with an emphasis on their relationship to humans. Cultivation, control, metabolism, body’s defense against disease, microbial genetics, laboratory tests, and contemporary diseases are discussed. Methods used in the laboratory include standard bacteriological techniques (culturing, staining, biochemical testing, sensitivity testing etc.) as well as some molecular and immunological techniques, such as PCR and ELISA. Laboratory work also includes identification of unknowns, and/or independent research projects.

Focus is on student understanding of evolution and the unity and diversity of life from the molecular level to ecosystems and biosphere. Designed for non-majors in biology and biomedical sciences. BIO 20 CONTEMPORARY HUMAN BIOLOGY 3.0 Units A study of the Human organism, beginning at the cellular level, emphasizing organ systems, and including topics of genetics and biotechnology. (Note: Formerly BIOL 20.) BIO 30 INTRO TO COLLEGE BIOLOGY 4.0 Units Basic principles of biology. Cell structure and function, cell division, cell metabolism, reproduction, genetics, taxonomy, origin of life, and evolution. Laboratory emphasis on developing various laboratory skills, using the metric system, collecting data, graphing, interpreting data, and preparing for and taking laboratory exams. Designed to prepare the necessary concepts and laboratory skills and experience that are needed to succeed in more advanced courses in biology. (Note: Formerly BIOL 31.) Strongly Recommended: MATH 110 or MATH 110B and Eligibility for ENG 1A BIO 40 HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT 3.0 Units Introduction to environmental issues from a scientific perspective, focusing on physical, chemical, and biological processes within the Earth system, the interaction between humans and these processes, and the role of science in finding AUTO LABA AUTOMOTIVE LAB 2.0 Units Automotive Lab is an open laboratory class for basic automotive students. This class is for students desiring to expand their hands-on experience using their own vehicle. Instructor will provide technical and supervisory support to guide students in completion of their self-initiated projects. Service information via computer service manuals will be available for students to use for vehicle information and research. Prerequisite: AUTO INTR or NAUT INTR with a minimum grade of C (May be taken concurrently) AUTO LABB AUTOMOTIVE LAB ADVANCED 2.0 Units Automotive Lab Advanced is an open laboratory class for advanced automotive students. This class is for students desiring to expand their hands-on experience using their own vehicle. Instructor will provide technical and supervisory support to guide students in completion of their self-initiated projects. Students are expected to help others in class and be able to work without guidance. Service information via computer service manuals will be available for students to use for vehicle information and research. Class is recommended for second year students only. Prerequisite: AUTO INTR or NAUT INTR and AUTO LABA or NAUT LABA with a minimum grade of C BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES BIO 1A GENERAL BOTANY 5.0 Units Diversity, structure and function of plant, fungal, and protistan phyla.
