Principles of Biology: Human Emphasis
Principles of cellular, organismal and population biology with primary representation relating to the human organism. Includes study of cells, tissues, and mammalian organ systems. Enrollment restricted to Kinesiology majors. Three hours of lecture. Three hours of laboratory.

BIOL 160 (4)
Microbiology for Health Sciences
Basic concepts of microbiology, including classification, metabolic activity and the effect of physical and chemical agents on microbial populations. Host parasite interactions, infectious agents, methods of transmission and control are also discussed.This is a Pre-Nursing Core course and enrollment is restricted to approved pre-health science students based on the nursing science impaction criteria.Three hours of lecture.Three hours of laboratory.

BIOL 175 (4)
Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology I
The first in a two-course series designed to introduce the principles of human anatomy and physiology for students in health and human services, including Nursing. Taught from a systems perspective where students will learn basic physiological principles and mechanisms along with their associated anatomical basis. Material includes anatomical terminology, cell and tissue structure and function, basic biochemical and metabolic pathways and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, digestive and excretory systems.This is a Pre-Nursing Core course and enrollment is restricted to approved pre-health science students based on the nursing science impaction criteria.Three hours of lecture.Three hours of laboratory.

BIOL 176 (4)
Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology II
