• BIOL 3607: Plant Anatomy

  0.00 - 4.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  A detailed study of the form and function of the various cell and tissue types found in higher plants, this course also surveys how scientific knowledge of plant anatomy is applied within a diverse range of fields, including ecology, forensic science, archeology, climatology, the arts and engineering.

• BIOL 3700: Systems Neuroscience

  0.00 - 3.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  An examination of the structure and function of the nervous system. The course is designed to develop a detailed understanding of the nervous system structure and function from the molecular level to the level of complex circuits such as learning and memory. While the primary emphasis is the human nervous system, a central theme is the comparison of the neurological circuits across phyla to identify basic organizational principles.

• BIOL 3820: Vertebrate Zoology

  3.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  The study of the chordates with emphasis on the vertebrates in their evolutionary development from the lower to the higher forms. In addition, a careful study of the basic and important structures of each class of vertebrates, their functions, life histories and natural histories (special adaptations and habits, origin and development) will be considered.

• BIOL 3835: Plant Physiology

  0.00 - 4.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  This course will examine and explore the link between the form and function in plants. Plant Physiologists are people interested in learning about what plants do, and what chemical and physical factors cause plants to respond as they do in their environment. This course will explore several important processes which allow plants to survive in their environment and we will examine the ecological implications of the physiological processes under investigation. We will primarily examine this relationship at the whole organism level. Laboratory experiments will reinforce the lecture topics.

  4.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  Study of the infectious agents of mammals and the diseases that result from infection by these agents. The course will focus on bacterial agents, their diagnosis and treatment. The laboratory portion of the course incorporates experiential learning of diagnostic procedures and case studies involving examples of pathogenic organisms. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours weekly. Fall annually.
