Lower Division

Concurrently
BIOL 089 - Biology of Women Laboratory

Biology of Women is an introduction to the structure, physiology and genetics of women across the life span. The first half of the course will explore the genetic, hormonal and developmental basis of gender. We will study physiology and development from conception, through puberty, pregnancy and aging. The latter part of the course will deal with specific health concerns of women and focus on predominantly or uniquely gender- related illnesses and their physiologic basis. The laboratory (BIOL 089) is intended to demonstrate the varied processes of science and the scientific method using women’s biology as the basic subject material.
