Courses
OBIOL 202A - Oral Biology I
This course will cover the microscopic structure of cells and tissues that make up human body systems with in-depth exploration of the microscopic structure and development of the oral cavity.
OBIOL 202B - Oral Biology I
This course will cover the microscopic structure of cells and tissues that make up human body systems with in-depth exploration of the microscopic structure and development of the oral cavity.
OBIOL 203 - Survey of Biochemistry
This survey course introduces the general biochemical concepts that are the basis of life. Topics will include protein structure and function; enzyme kinetics; lipids and biological membranes; carbohydrate, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism; and nucleic acid structure and function. Prerequisites: CHEM 101 or equivalent and CHEM 261 or 164 or equivalent. Students who have obtained credit for BIOCH 200 cannot take OBIOL 203 for credit.
OBIOL 302 - Oral Biology II
A multidisciplinary course that examines the unique physiology, biochemistry and nutrition of oral structures. Topics will include functions of the periodontal tissues, the termporomandibular joint, mastication, deglutition, speech, special reflexes involving cranial nerves, receptors of the stomatognathic system, and salivary glands and relevance of saliva to caries. Oral manifestations of metabolic disease, the physiology of pain, and the role of nutrition in the development of oral tissues and the maintenance of oral health will also be discussed.
