Introduction to Biology
An introductory course in the biological sciences. Biology is the study of living things and their vital processes that deals with all the physicochemical aspects of life.
Students will learn topics that include cell biology, anatomy and genetics, specifically physiology, stem cells, bioinformatics, neuroscience and DNA.
Material will be delivered via, text, multi-media and workbooks. Quizzes will be given for each section and a full course test will be given at the end.
Section 1
Cell Biology
Carrie Section 1
-
1.Scientific Method40:00Learn various experiments that often serve as introductory concepts. Learn to observe, gather data, design experiments, and analyze charts and graphs. Also includes simple experiments to demonstrate the concepts.
-
2.Introduction to Physiology35:00In this course, students learn to recognize and to apply the basic concepts that govern integrated body function (as an intact organism) in the body's nine organ systems.
-
3.The Science of Stem Cells2:03:00In this five-part online course you will explore the history and basic biology of stem cells, learn about new research techniques, and find out how stem cells could lead to cures for diseases and to individualized medicine
-
4.Bioinformatics3:00:00Upon completion of the course, students should be more comfortable working with the vast amounts of biomedical and genomic data and online tools that will be relevant to their work in the coming decades.
-
5.Cell Biology Section Quiz30:00Test your knowledge about cell biology discussed in the previous lessons.

6.Medical NeuroscienceThis course emphasizes the neural and vascular anatomy of the human brain and spinal cord, providing an anatomical framework for localizing lesions within the central nervous system
-
7.Anatomy of the AbdomenIn this anatomy course you will explore the organs involved in our food digestion and discover the common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain.
-
8.The Basics of Trauma SurgeryThis course imparts a wide range of basic knowledge and skills in the field of trauma surgical and orthopedic treatment of patients.
-
9.Proximal Lower ExtremityThis is a new lesson that was added after a session was started. I want to see if it is available to the user.
