Emphasis is placed on tissues of the immune system, control, and cellular interaction of the healthy and<br />
diseased immune system.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 3360 or BIOL 3372 or BIOL 3374 or permission of<br />
instructor<br />
BIOL 3334 General Ecology. (4) Spring<br />
An introduction to the basic principles and concepts of ecology with emphasis on environmental sampling,<br />
analysis and characterization.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L<br />
BIOL 3335 General Zoology. (4) Fall (even years)<br />
A phylogenetic approach to the Animal kingdom following cladistic principles. Emphasis will be placed upon<br />
representative animal groups and the position of Animalia within the domains of life. Studies of local faunae<br />
will be highlighted.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L<br />
BIOL 3336 General Botany. (4) Fall (odd years)<br />
A phylogenetic survey of the kingdom Plantae. Cladistic principles will be followed while discovering the<br />
position of plants among the other forms of life. Certain plant-like protists will also be covered in the course.<br />
Characteristics, contributions, and life cycles of major groups will be emphasized. Lab work will be strongly<br />
oriented toward the local florae.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L<br />
BIOL 3351 Vertebrate Embryology. (4) Spring<br />
A study of the embryological development of representative vertebrates, with laboratory emphasis upon the<br />
chick and pig.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L or BIOL 2148 and 2149<br />
BIOL 3353 Fundamentals of Evolutionary Theory. (4) Fall<br />
A balanced survey of the present-day concepts of the processes and products of evolution with emphases on 1)<br />
contrasting models and their consequences, 2) mass extinctions, 3) evolution of man, 4) methods of science<br />
and pseudoscience, and 5) philosophical considerations.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L or BIOL 2148 and 2149<br />
BIOL 3360 Histology. (4) Fall (odd years)<br />
A study of the microscopic features of vertebrate cells, tissues, and organs. Lectures correlate cell structure<br />
with tissue or organ system function. Laboratory experiences include the microscopic identification of major<br />
tissues and organs at the cellular level.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L<br />
BIOL 3370 Toxicology. (4) Fall (even years)<br />
An introduction to the principles of toxicology and the cellular, physiological, and ecological effects of<br />
toxicants, with an emphasis on the environmental and physiological effects of toxicants on different<br />
populations.<br />
Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L<br />
