SCI 308 and SCI 308L
Human Anatomy & Physiology
Areas of study: Osteology, Neurology, Dermatology, EENT, Myology, Syndesmology,
Splanchnology, Endocrinology, Genetics, Histology, Gastroenterology, Metabolism,
Cardiology, Embryology, Gynecology, and Immunology. Because the structures
of the body are so exquisitely adapted to carry out specific functions,
the student can best understand anatomy and physiology when they are presented
together. This course uses a systems rather than a regional approach which
facilitates our focus on the relationship between structures and function.
Visual aids include CD-ROM cadaver study and/or disc and other computer
programs to assist the student. 4 & 2 credits - Smith
SCI 310 Embryology
This course is a study of embryological development, from gametogenesis
through the establishment of fetal membranes and placenta. Additionally,
the special development of the human nervous, circulatory, digestive,
respiratory, urogenital, endocrine, skeletal, and muscular systems will
be discussed. 3 credits - Tel-Oren
SCI 317 Elemental Chemistry
This course is a compilation of the advanced works of Dr. Bernard Jensen
as applied during his 50 years of clinical experience. It proves the effectiveness
of nutrition in restoring patients to normal health. It focuses on the
chemical elements, their structure and their application, including vitamins,
enzymes, proteins, starches, prostaglandins, and minerals in foods in
order to understand the source in Nature from which health and well-being
spring. Every disease, symptom, discharge, and pain indicates chemical
imbalance in the body. A body that is chemically well-balanced will normalize
itself. A holistic approach depicting the integration of body, mind and
spirit will be presented. 3 credits - Tart
SCI 401 Clinical Biochemistry
Areas of study: Metabolism (Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Enzymes),
Nutrition, Bioenergetics, and Genetics. This course integrates and summarizes
the essentials of clinical biochemistry for the student to understand
and assimilate information in the biochemical field. 4 credits
- Wilson
SCI 402 Biological Terrain
In this course, the student will learn the history, science and application
of Biological Terrain. Biological Terrain is a term used to define the
overall status of the biochemistry of an individual by evaluating the
parameters of the blood, urine, and saliva for factors of pH (acid-alkaline
balance), rH2 (oxidative stress), and r (resistivity) and only when evaluated
together can the biological terrain be completely defined. 3 credits-Oler
SCI 405 Histology
In this course, the microanatomy of cells, tissue, and organs is surveyed.
The ultrastructure of cells and basic tissue types are described, and
stress is made on the functional microanatomy of bone, muscles, nerves,
and the organs of the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive,
endocrine, hemopoietic, immune, and integumentary systems. 3 credits
- Tel-Oren
SCI 408 Pathology I
This comprehensive course of pathological processes in the human body
focuses on the basic mechanisms and concepts of tissue reaction to injury,
degenerative cellular changes, cellular response to the inflammatory reaction,
and concepts of immunology and neoplasia. Additionally, pathologic responses
of specific body systems to infections and degenerative diseases are stressed.
5 credits - Tel-Oren
SCI 410 Microbiology & Parasitology
This course focuses on the theoretical and practical basis of clinical
microbiology: structure, classification, control, cultivation, and identification
of typical species of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The normal
and pathological interaction between microbes and human host are stressed.
Prerequisites: Biochemistry, Histology. 4 credits - Tel-Oren
SCI 414 Epidemiology/Public Health
This course offers an introduction to statistics, research methods and
case studies as they would relate and be applied to epidemiology and public
health. Major public health concerns are explored, as are the responsibilities
and role of the holistic practitioner relative to public health issues.
2 credits - Tel-Oren
SCI 418 Blood Chemistry & Urinalysis
In this course, the student will learn to evaluate clinically the results
of blood chemistry and urinalysis in order to identify nutritional/metabolic
imbalances and underlying causes of disease. Acquired knowledge will be
used to design and recommend nutritional and wellness programs for the
prevention and correction of the biochemical imbalances identified. Instead
of clinical laboratory reference values, suggested optimal values are
used in an effort to evaluate the individual more holistically. Nutritional
recommendations and other natural therapies that are appropriate for various
specific scenarios will be taught. 4 credits - Smith
SCI 520 Immunology
This course in immunology will take the student through the various aspects
of the immune system, including its structure, components, mechanisms,
immunological methods, immune response, and inflammation. Clinical immunology
will be emphasized, including hypersensitivity, atopy, autoimmunity, and
immunodeficiency disorders. Pre-requisites: Histology, Biochemistry, Microbiology.
2 credit - Tel-Oren
