    Description

    The application of biological principles to contemporary health issues are examined in this course to provide awareness and scientific literacy about their potential impact and importance to our well-being and the choices we make. Students will gain an appreciation of the design of the human body through a study of its organization, the interrelationships among the many organ systems, patterns of chromosome and genetic inheritance and cancer. Students may take only the lecture portion of the course (3 credits), or the lecture and laboratory portion of the course (3 + 1 credits). However, if electing to take the laboratory portion, it must be taken concurrent with the lecture course.
