Stručná osnova predmetu | |
Study of advanced invertebrates and vertebrates, adopts a comparative approach to the study of these groups of animals and the structure and function of their organ systems. The course reviews and describes the main vertebrate groups; fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, emphasising their form and function, ecology, evolution, adaptations and diversity. The course also includes the evolution and comparative physiology of respiratory, circulatory and osmoregulatory systems; thermoregulation and sense organs; co-evolution of hosts and parasites/pathogens. The lectures are supplemented by suitable practical exercises designed to teach a variety of skills which include microscopy, analysis and interpretation of data, dissection (of a fish), and group project work which includes report-writing and presentation skills. |
