A continuation of BIOL 1104. Human systems examined include cardiovascular,
digestive, respiratory, urinary, skeletal, muscular and immune. The course also
includes an examination of the DNA to protein connection and discusses the
basics of biotechnology. Laboratory sessions emphasize and reinforce major
concepts covered. For non-science majors.
