Z20G/ZOOL2012 - FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION I: ANIMAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS

Requisite knowledge for higher level courses in zoology. A foundation course which will allow students to understand animal functions met in more advanced courses.

Aims
  • To equip students with knowledge of the major maintenance systems involved in the functioning of animals and the evolutionary development of these systems.
  • To develop knowledge of these systems by examination of appropriate biological materials in the practical classes.
  • To develop and improve dissection and other practical zoological skills.

Objectives
    Upon successful completion of the course the students should be able to:
  • describe the variety of maintenance systems in animals of different organizational levels,
  • explain the design and performance of maintenance systems,
  • discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different designs of maintenance systems,
  • outline the evolutionary trends visible within these systems,
  • dissect and display basic animal systems.

Z20H/ZOOL2013 - FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION II: ANIMAL COORDINATION, PROTECTION AND MOVEMENT

Requisite knowledge for higher level courses in zoology. A foundation course which will allow students to understand animal functions met in more advanced courses.

Aims
  • To provide an introduction to the structure and evolutionary development of selected systems (nervous, endocrine, support, integument) in vertebrates and invertebrates.
  • To develop knowledge of these systems by reference to appropriate biological materials in the practical classes.
  • To develop and improve dissection and other practical zoological skills.

Objectives
    Upon successful completion of the course the students should be able to:
  • describe and explain the structure and evolutionary development of the nervous, endocrine, support and integument systems,
  • describe the embryological development of selected structures related to the above mentioned systems,
  • recognize and identify the cellular structure of tissues and organs associated with the above systems,
  • dissect and display selected animal systems.
