Introduces toxicology as it relates to regulatory, environmental, forensic, and
clinical issues. Focuses on general principles of toxicology and their
application to determining the hazards of toxins in the workplace, the home,
and the environment.
Tox 1101 Current Topics in Toxicology 1 QH
Discusses topics of interest to toxicology, pharmacy, biology, chemistry,
nursing, and related majors. Selects topics from current research that span
regulatory, public health, and environmental issues. Explores other
toxicology-related topics.
Includes an introduction to the basic principles of treatment; the toxic
actions of drugs and chemicals, which are involved in acute poisonings; and
forensic toxicology. A case study approach is used. Prereq. PMD1402, PMD1413,
and PMD1424.

TOX 1301
Fundamental Principles of Systemic Toxicology
|
4 QH |
Presents the principles of toxicology from an organ-system perspective. Focuses
on the basic concepts used to evaluate toxicity, the mode of injury at the
organ and cellular levels, and the basic subcellular mechanisms through which
toxic agents produce damaging effects. Uses recent toxicological literature to
introduce the concepts needed to evaluate toxicity through the analysis of
data. Prereq. PMC1418.
|
TOX 1302
Chemical and Analytical Toxicology
|
4 QH |
Continues TOX1301. Places additional emphasis on the interpretation of the
toxicological literature to evaluate the risk involved from exposure to
prototype chemicals. Uses structure activity and biochemical methods of
assessment to evaluate the toxicity of major classes of chemical compounds.
Prereq. PMC1418 and TOX1301.
|
TOX 1322
Biochemical Toxicology Laboratory
|
4 QH |
Introduces the student to investigational methods for assessing toxicity; helps
develop the student's ability to analyze and interpret data generated in the
lab and in the literature; and helps the student develop technical writing
skills. Uses rodents as a model for toxic insult. Examines hepatotoxicity,
neurotoxicity, teratogenicity, and other toxic manifestations at the
whole-animal, whole-tissue, and biochemical levels. Prereq. TOX1300, TOX1301,
or TOX1302.
Students participate in faculty-directed research projects in the toxicology
laboratory.
