Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences

A course that investigates the cellular level of organization, from the level of individual molecules to the level of whole organisms. Coursework in this area covers topics such as cell chemistry, cell dynamics, cell replication and reproduction, cell anatomy, membrane function, organelles, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrices, cell dynamics and motility, meiosis and mitosis, signal transduction, regulation, recognition and defense mechanisms, the cell cycle, cell metabolism and respiration, gene expression, and studies of cell types and characteristics. Life relies on cellular structure, they serve an endless number of purposes, and there are an infinite number of them. If you're interested in the microscopic world of cells and how they're put together, function, and organized, you should consider majoring in Cell Biology and Anatomical Sciences. The processes of development, reproduction, and adaptation in various ecosystems will be covered in detail. You'll have to take several courses to get a comprehensive education on the workings of cells and how they function. Subjects like chemistry, physics, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, biology, microbiology, and immunology could be covered in such a program. The several subfields of this degree include Cell Biology and Histology, Anatomy, Developmental Biology and Embryology, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology and Anatomy.
