(See the Interdisdplinary Programs sedion of this catalog.) ZOOLOGY COURSES - ZOOL ZOOL LS1010. Animal Biology (3) A non-major's introdudion to the challenges faced by animals as they obtain and use materials, energy, and information from their environment. A central theme will be the diversity of responses resulting from evolutionary processes. The course will also consider mechanisms of inheritance and development. Three lecture/discussion hours a week. ZOOL LS1020. Human Biology (3) Survey course for non-Zoology majors. Course content includes basic structure and function of the human body, homeostasis, heredity, human evolution, and ecology. Implications pertaining to personal health, bioethical concerns, environmental issues, and thdr impad on society will be examined. Three ledure/discussion hours a week. ZOOL SI1110. Principles of Zoology I (4) A major's introduction to the study of genetics, inheritance, and evolutionary processes. In addition, the diversity and comparative biology of non-vertebrate animals will be examined. Three hours of lecture and one 2-hour lab a week. ZOOL SI1120. Principles of Zoology II (4) A major's introduction to cellular processes and the diversity and comparative biology of vertebrate animals. Three hours of lecture and one 2-hour lab a week. Prerequisite: ZOOL Sill 10 or permission of instructor. ZOOL LS/SI1370. Principles of Life Science (3) A survey course recommended for elementary education majors. Course content includes cells, cell chemistry, genetics, plant and animal anatomy, plant and animal classification, physiology, immune systems, evolution, and ecology. Unifying concepts of all living things will be emphasized. Two lecture hours and one 3-hour lab a week. ZOOL 1990. Zoology Orientation (1) This seminar consists of faculty, staff, and professional presentations which will inform students of potential research opportunities in the department and career possibilities in the disdpline. One hour a week. This course should be taken concurrently with ZOOL SI1110orSI1120. ZOOL 2100. Human Anatomy (4) Structure of the human body organs/systems. Three lecture hours and one 2-hour lab a week. ZOOL 2200. Human Physiology (4) Functional consideration of the human body. Recommended for all curricula for which a basic understanding of body functions is required. Three lecture hours and one 2-hour lab a week. ZOOL 2800. History of Life Sciences (3) Examination of the ways in which interaction among personalities, instrumentation, and ideas shape the development of biology - past, present, and future. Three ledure hours a week. ZOOL 2900. Topics in Zoology (1-4) Variable topics related to zoology as announced in the dass schedule; may include medical entomology, biostatistics, primatology, etc., and may be taught with a laboratory section.
