NURSING
(NU) {NURS}
L/R 061. Biologically-Based Chemistry. (A) Lafferty-Della Valle.Prerequisite(s): One year of high school general chemistry or its equivalent. 0.5 course units
A contextual approach will be used in studying the concepts in General, Organic and Biological
Chemistry that are foundational to an understanding of normal cellular processes. Topics that will be covered include measurements, atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, properties of gases and liquids, solutions, equilibrium, acids and bases, pH, buffers, nuclear chemistry, nomenclature and properties of the main organic functional groups, and the structures and function of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
L/R 062. Cell Biology. (A) Hayes, M.; Lafferty-Della Valle. 0.5 course units
This course will include the major topics of cell biology and microbiology that are foundational for an understanding of normal and pathological cellular processes. Topics will include the study of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures and functions, the main biological molecules, membrane transport, cellular communications, the flow of genetic information, cell division, and cellular metabolism. The context for this course will be the application of cell biology to understanding the cellular basis of human diseases and the role of genetics and genomics in health and disease processes. 063. Microbiology. (A) Wislowski.Prerequisite(s): NURS 061; NURS 062. 0.5 course units
This course will focus on the role of microorganisms in human health and infectious diseases. It will include a description of the main types of microorganisms, how they are identified, their growth requirements, the role of the immune system in controlling infections, the control of animal parasites including viruses, bacteria and fungi and host - microbe interactions.
065. Fundamentals of Nutrition. (B) Compher; Dolan; Caspar-Clark.Prerequisite(s): NURS 061;
NURS 062 (or equivalent Science Sequence Courses).
