Course content
|
- Chemical bases of animal organisms: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates - contents and functions in an organism (tut. Glycemic curve, glycemic control) - Dynamics of membranes: transport mechanisms, cell receptors, forms of intercellular communication - Cytology: Basic characteristics and types of animal cells. - Histology: animal tissue - characteristics of basic types of tissue of invertebrates and vertebrates, their histogenesis, classification and regeneration (epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve tissues). Characteristics of indirect development (types of developmental stages). - General neurophysiology: central NS, peripheral NS, resting and action potential, synapses, neurotransmitters and signal substances, principles of drug effects on the NS (tut. reflexes) - General endocrinology: general principles of synthesis, transport and effects of hormones on the basis of their chemical structure (tut. virtual lab) - Physiology of body fluids, circulatory and respiratory system: hemolymph, blood, lymph, tissue fluid, functions of body fluids, blood cells, hemopoiesis, coagulation, antigenic systems of blood - General principles of digestion and absorption: types of digestive tracts, extracellular and intracellular digestion, digestive enzymes, digestion and absorption of nutrients (tut. Swallowing, BMI measurement, resorption, demonstration of stomachs of ruminants and omnivores); - Metabolisms: anabolisms, catabolisms, basal metabolisms, principles of metabolism and energies in an organism (tut. Segmentation analysis of a body, virtual lab) - Gametogenesis - spermatogenesis and oogenesis, their course and basic stages. - Reproduction of animals. Asexual and sexual reproduction (hermaphroditism, gonochorisms, parthenogenesis), their course and forms

Learning outcomes
|
The course aims at providing the students with a basic overview of the biochemical composition of an animal body, the structure and function of a eukaryotic cell and the principles of inter-cellular communication. The basic types and functions of animal tissues, general physiological principles of homeostatic systems, the ontogenetic and embryonic development of an individual, reproduction and gametogenesis will be presented. From the methodological point of view, the emphasis is put on students to realise the correlation of the chemical composition, structure and function on the cellular, tissue and organ level. The lectures are interactive using multimedia technology incl. descriptive animations which facilitate the students? grasp of the complex interrelated processes which take place on the cellular, tissue and organ level.
Student should be able to (after attending the course): - Describe general characteristics and structure of living organisms. - Describe and characterise different types of cells. - Compare various reproduction modes in living organisms - Describe classification systems of living organisms. - Explain functions of organ systems.
