BIOL 302 Cell Biology and Histology
This course covers life in terms of molecules, cells, tissues, and organs, integrating these levels of complexity and focusing on the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of biological function. Topics include membrane structure and function, trafficking of molecules, the endomembrane system signal transduction pathways, extracellular matrix, and the cell cytoskeleton. Laboratory includes descriptive histology of animal tissues. Intended for biology and life sciences teaching majors.
First day attendance is mandatory.Note: Enrollment limited to Biology, Biochemistry and Life Science Teaching majors only, except by instructor permission.
