Principles of cell biology and organismal development: the nature of membranes and organelles, metabolism, cell division, cell signaling in healthy and diseased states (diabetes, cancer), stem cells, development and immunology. HUMBIO 3A and HUMBIO 3B are designed to be taken concurrently. Periodically there will be lectures that address related content in the two courses. Concurrent enrollment is encouraged and is necessary for majors to meet recommended declaration deadlines. Human Biology majors are required to take the Human Biology Core Courses for a letter grade. HUMBIO3A requires knowledge of the introductory chemistry topics listed in the syllabus. A series of on-line videos and practice quizzes designed specifically for the HumBio Core is available for students who may need to review these chemistry topics. The HUMBIO 15 videos (approximately HUMBIO 10 minutes each) with practice quizzes, will be posted on the HUMBIO 2A and HUMBIO 3A Canvas sites.
