| Prin of Biology II Lec & Lab | |
| This course is the second course in a two-course sequence intended for biology majors and that continues the study of biological concepts and principles. In lecture, the focus is on classification of living organisms, plant and animal physiology, population genetics, evolution, and ecology. The laboratory portion of this course will reinforce topics covered in the Principles of Biology II lecture. The focus is on classification of living organisms, plant and animal physiology, population genetics, evolution, and ecology. In lab, the emphasis is placed on scientific method, data collection and reporting, problem solving and critical thinking. Three hours of lecture and minimum of four hours of lab per week.

| Intro Hum Anat&Phys Lec&Lab | |
| A survey of the structure and function of the human body. The mirco and macroscopic structure and the function of each system will be reviewed. The course is intended for students enrolled in an allied health program. The integument, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive system will be studied. The laboratory session will support the lecture activity. Two hours of lecture and minimum of four hours lab per week.

| Hum Anat&Phys I Lec & Lab | |
| This course is part of a two-semester sequence of courses where gross mircro- and macro- scopic anatomy and the function of the respective structures are studied. The first semester includes the study of integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems. The nervous system is studied partially in this course (study includes the basic organization of nervous tissue and of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems). The lab exercises complement the lecture material. Two hours of lecture and minimum of four hours of laboratory per week.

| Hum Anat&Phys II Lec&Lab | |
| This is part two of a two-semester sequence of courses where gross micro- and macro- scopic anatomy and the function of the respective human systems are studied. This course concludes the examination of the nervous system begun in BI 2104 (integration of nervous system functions and special senses are covered). Additionally, the endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive and Urogential systems are studied. Three hours of lecture and minimum of four hours of lab per week.
