In the first course of a two semester sequence of
general biology for science majors, students will study the
chemistry of life, cellular structure, cellular metabolism-
including photosynthesis, aerobic and anaerobic respiration,
cellular communication, cellular division and its regulation,
Mendelian genetics, biotechnology, and evolution. This
course is intended for Science Majors and pre-medical, pre-
veterinarian, pre-dental, pre-optometry, and pre-pharmacy
majors. (C-ID BIOL 190)

This course is the second course of a two-semester
sequence of general biology for science majors. Students
will study the origins of life, the evolutionary history of
biodiversity, plant form and function, animal form and
function, and ecology. This course is intended for science
majors and pre-medical, pre-veterinarian, pre-dental, pre-

HUMAN ANATOMY
4 units, 3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours
PREREQUISITES: Biology 1 or 5 or 11A.
ADVISORIES: Eligibility for English 125, 126, and
Mathematics 201.
This is a course providing a basic understanding and
working knowledge of the human body with emphasis on the
structure of each major system. The interrelationship between
human systems and the relationships between the structure
and functions of each system will be studied at several levels:
cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organismal. (A, CSU-GE,
UC, I) (C-ID BIOL 110B)

This course provides a basic understanding and
working knowledge of the human body with emphasis on the
functions of each major system. The interrelationship between
human systems and the relationship between structure
and function of each system will be studied at several levels
(biochemical, cellular, organ levels). (A, CSU-GE, UC, I)
