School Lab Requirements-Help!

[Do Ray]

For context, I've taken:
3 quarters bio course (4-unit), 1 quarter lab (4-unit)
3 quarters gen chem course (4-unit), 1 quarter lab (4-unit)
3 quarter organic chem (4-unit), 1 quarter lab (4-unit)
3 quarters physics (3-unit), 3 quarters lab (2-unit)
I only need to take 2 more bio labs (4-unit) for my Degree's Major requirements.

UCLA:
Requires "courses with 1-year of a laboratory component (2 sem./3 qtr.)."
Inorganic/General Chemistry: 8 sem/12 quar
Organic Chemistry: 6 sem/8 quar
Physics: 8 sem/12 quar
Biology: 8 sem/12 quar

UCSF:
Biological Sciences: One year of general biology or zoology with laboratory, designed for science majors.
Inorganic Chemistry with Laboratory: A minimum of three quarters or two semesters of inorganic chemistry with laboratory.
Organic Chemistry with Laboratory: A minimum of two quarters or one semester of organic chemistry with laboratory."
Physics: A minimum of three quarters or two semesters of physics with laboratory.

Is this saying we need 3 quarters of bio labs to go along with the 3 quarters of bio classes?
My quarter-system undergrad only required me to take 1 bio lab (4-unit). However, I can elect to take labs (4-unit) that are more focused in the bio department for my Major elective labs.
Same thing with organic chemistry. I took 3 quarters of organic chem courses, but was only required to take 1 quarter of organic chem lab (4-unit).

Oddly enough, Physics is the only series where the course is 3 units and the labs are 2 units. i.e. bio/gen chem/organic chem labs are more 'independent' classes (course is 4-unit, lab is 4-unit), and physics labs are more connected with the corresponding course (course is 3-unit, lab is 2-unit).

Please help! Should I take more bio labs during my senior year?

...what your school requires is not the same as what dental schools require.

Take whatever is required by dental schools.

Most dental schools are pretty hard on their pre-reqs and if you don't meet them they rarely give any exceptions. So, like above said, I would take whatever the schools say is required.
