Prerequisite: MATH 091 or MATH 090 with a grade of "C" or better. This is one of two entry-level courses designed for life science, biology, health care, and science education majors intending to transfer to four-year institutions. However, this course is open to all students. This course provides students an introduction to biology and the scientific method. Additionally, properties of life leading to genetic and biological diversity are studied. The course surveys evolutionary relationships, systematics, ecology, biological diversity, population regulation, and physiology of living organisms (Protista, Fungi, Plants, and Animals). Emphasis is on structure and function at the organismal level. (CSU, UC)

Prerequisite: MATH 091 or MATH 090 and CHEM 100 and BIOL 100 or BIOL 122 or BIOL 180 or BIOL 182 with a grades of "C" or better; or MATH 091 or MATH 090 with a grade of "C" or better and current California LVN/RN license. Human anatomy and physiology. A two semester study of the structure and function of the human organism, from the molecular to the gross level. This course may require the use of human cadavers for observation and/or dissection. Preparatory for RN program and paramedical programs. (CSU) (UC credit limited. See a counselor.)

Prerequisite: MATH 091 or MATH 090 and CHEM 100 and BIOL 204 with grades of "C" or better; or MATH 091 or MATH 090 with a grade of "C" or better and current California LVN or RN license. Lecture and laboratory course designed to introduce the function of the human body from cellular through organ system levels of organization. Emphasis will be on integration of body systems and interrelationships for maintaining homeostasis. The practical applications of the basic concepts are presented. This course may require the use of human cadavers for observation and/or dissection. (CSU) (UC credit limited. See a counselor.)
