Human Ecology |
|||
Studies the dynamic balance within the ecosphere. The flow of energy and mineral resources is examined in natural and human systems, and human impact on this natural balance and flow of resources is studied. Social causes and solutions to ecological insults also investigated. The laboratory examines, either through experiments or field study, characteristics of different ecosystems, stresses and impacts on different ecosystems, and current human actions to solve or prevent ecological problems. (3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory.) |

Anatomy And Physiology I |
|||
Basic principles of the structure and function of the human body are discussed in depth for each of the organ systems. Physiology is presented from both a biochemical and organismal point of view. Basic understanding of chemistry, physics and mathematics is introduced where useful and necessary for understanding these biological phenomena. Special attention given to the application of these principles and concepts to health-related areas. A two-semester sequence (3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory.) |
