Structural and Cellular Biology (SCB) Courses

STRUCTURAL AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY (SCB)

1998-1999 Bulletin Information

SCB 501 Medical Gross Anatomy 8 cr
A course consisting of lectures and laboratory experience stressing the more important
aspects of human morphology using both systematic and regional approaches supplemented by
introductory radiological features.
SCB 507 Cell Biology 3 cr
A course in which interdepartmental faculty members lecture on modern concepts of cell
biology. Prerequisites: Medical Biochemistry (BCH 520) or equivalent.
SCB 510 Medical Histology 7 cr
A study of the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs, which includes lectures,
demonstrations, and individual laboratory study of slides.
SCB 511 Medical Neuroanatomy 6 cr
This course consists of lectures and laboratories stressing the important aspects of the
structures of the central nervous system and emphasizing the functional aspects which relate to
human disease.
SCB 513 Developmental Anatomy 2 cr
A course which presents a synopsis of human development and related information.
Clinically related topics are emphasized while normal development is closely correlated with the
systemic lectures given in the gross anatomy course.
SCB 610 Molecular & Cellular Neuroscience 2 cr
A course which requires students to read and evaluate critically the contemporary
literature dealing with the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neural function.
SCB 612 Cytoskeletal and Membranes 2 cr
This course requires students to read, present, and evaluate critically the modern literature
on cytoskeleton and membrane structure, interactions, and function. Prerequisite: Cell Biology
(SCB 507).
SCB 614 Gene Expression, Regulation, Repair, and Therapy 2 cr
This course requires students to read, present, and evaluate critically the modern literature
on gene expression and regulation, repair and therapy. Prerequisite: Medical Biochemistry (BCH
520).
SCB 615 Molecular and Cellular Development 2 cr
This course examines embryonic development in animal systems. The focus is on the
protein and molecular interactions that regulate the development of animal embryos. The course
consists of lectures and written exams. Students are required to read from an assigned text and
from the primary literature. Prerequisite: Medical Biochemistry (BCH 520) or equivalent.
