General part: Body structure: body size, statics, functional morphology. Metabolism - intensity, temperature regulation, adaptation. Skin - structure, blood supply, function, adaptation. Cutaneous glands - types, products, distribution, importance, modification. Hair - structure, types, moulting, other products of skin. Teeth: Structure - tissues, types, morphology, development. Tooth formula - adaptions to types of food, special adaptations, tooth exchange. Jaw - joint, evolution, muscles, chewing, digestion. Breeding: Genitalia - Proto-, Meta-, Eutheria, oestrus cycle, fertilization, modifications. Embryonic development - extra-embryonic membranes, placenta, duration of development. Parental care - ontogenetic degree of development at birth, care, suckling. Adaptations to various environments: Terrestrial and underground life - limbs, walking. Life on the trees, ancestral forms, active and passive flying. Life in water - morphological and physiological adaptations. Central nervous system and senses: CNS - structure, function, development, cortex. Sensory organs - optical, auditory, olfactory, etc., adaptations. Behaviour - territorial, social, adaptive. Second part: Evolution of mammals: Synapsida, Pelycosauria and Therapsida (Cynodontia). First mammals Prototheria (Morganucodontidae, Tricodonta, Docodonta, Multituberculata),Theria (Symetrodonta, Eupantotheria).
