Title/Description
Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 1005
Introduction to Cell Biology An introduction to the field of cell biology with a focus on the basic unit of life, the cell - its function, chemistry, metabolism, and structure. Must be passed with a grade of "C" or better to qualify as a prerequisite for other Biology courses. (Prerequisites: College-level reading and writing) (0 hrs lec/2 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 1009
Introduction to Forensic Biology: Concepts and Techniques Hands-on instruction in chemical and biological forensic lab techniques which are also used in environmental, medical, and molecular biology. Primarily a lab-based course designed to teach introductory cell and molecular biology employing the scientific method to solve cases. Labs, assignments, readings, and instructions will be chosen from the following topics: lab safety, microscope use (hair and fiber analysis), DNA extraction, fingerprinting and replication, chemistry of life, protein separation and analysis (electrophoresis, Western blot), bacterial culture and transformation, chromatography, genetically-modified organisms (GMO), cell replication forensic entymology. Serves as a prerequisite for Biology 1140, 1150, 1130, 1170 covering concepts and lab techniques of Intro to Cell Biology. MTC goal areas: (3) Natural Sciences. (Prerequisites: ENGL0950 or ENGL0955 or READ0950 or READ0955, or equivalent, or 78 or higher on the reading comprehension portion of the CPT) (1 hr lec/4 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 1140
Human Anatomy and Physiology I A study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body with emphasis on the relationship between structure and function. Topics studied are tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, articulations, muscle system, nervous system, and special senses. Includes laboratory dissections. MTC goal area (3) Natural Sciences. (Prerequisites: BIOL 1000, or BIOL 1005, or BIOL 1007, or BIOL 1120, or equivalent, with a grade of C or better) (2.5 hrs lec/3 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 1141
Human Anatomy and Physiology II Continued study of body structure and function. Incorporates principles of chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. A study of the endocrine system, cardiovascular system, immune system, respiratory system, urinary system, digestive system, and reproductive systems. For students in health related fields. Helps to fulfill general education lab-science requirements. Includes laboratory dissections. Builds on principles studied in BIOL1140. MTC goal areas: (3) Natural Sciences. (Prerequisites: BIOL1140) (2.5 hrs lec/3 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: BIOL

Microbiology This course includes study of classification, structure and function of microbes with an emphasis on microbes that cause disease. Topics include microbial metabolism and growth, control of microbes, microbial genetics, and basic laboratory techniques used to study microorganisms. The course is intended for Liberal Arts students and/or students in health fields. MTC Goal areas: (3) Natural Sciences. (Prerequisites: BIOL1120 or BIOL1005 or test out; college level reading and writing) (2 hrs lec/2 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 2170
Pathophysiology This class uses a case study approach to the study of human physiology as it is affected by the disease process, the bodys attempts to compensate, and integration of systems to maintain homeostasis. The focus is on cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, renal, immunological, endocrine, and neuromuscular disruptions. Environmental, cultural, and ethical influences are included where relevant. Critical thinking is emphasized. MTC goal area: (2) Critical Thinking (Prerequisites: Completion of BIOL 1141 or BIOL 1160 with a grade of C or better, or instructor consent; college-level reading and writing) (3 hours lec/ 0 hours lab/ 0 hours OJT)
Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 2210
Genetics A survey of modern molecular and classical Mendelian principles underlying biological inheritance. Emphasis on understanding and applying genetic concepts at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population levels. Includes an introduction to statistical analysis of genetic data, and use of traditional and modern laboratory techniques. Includes development of scientific writing skills in combination with use of primary literature. Includes lab. (Prerequisites: BIOL1120 and CHEM1210; or equivalents required, BIOL1130 strongly recommended. ) (2.5 hrs lec/3 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: ENSC
Course Number: 1200
The Environment and Sustainability This class focuses on the relationship of humans to their environment from local, regional, and global perspectives. It includes the study of natural ecosystems, the impact of human activity on natural resources and environmental quality, environmental ethics, and strategies to maintain a sustainable biosphere. The laboratory component includes experiences in the scientific method, basic ecological and environmental field techniques and assessment, and selected field trips to local agencies, research facilities, and businesses. MTC goal areas: (3) Natural Sciences and (10) People and the Environment. (Prerequisites: College-level reading) (3 hrs lec/2 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: ENSC
Course Number: 2010
World Health and the Environment This course introduces the student to populations, cultures and environments of the world and how they are connected with the health of both the planet and its inhabitants. Environmental, cultural, political, and ethical issues related to world health will be explored as well as measures being taken by the global community to improve world health. Students will be introduced to the chain of infection as it relates to infectious disease and pandemics and learn to apply data from major world health organizations for research purposes. Case studies and current issues will be used to explore the relationship between human health and the environment. Lab components of this course include the scientific method, the basic biology of pathogens, and basic epidemiology. MTC goal areas: (3) Natural Sciences and (10) People and the Environment. (Prerequisites: BIOL 1120 or ENSC 1200 or BIOL 1170 or BIOL 1007 or BIOL 1140 or BIOL 1000) (2 hrs lec/2 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
