Reproductive Physiology: Comparative physiology of male and female reproductive organs, forms of reproduction, parthenogenesisi, gynandromorphism, external and internal fertilization, ontogenetic development of individuals, hormonal regulation of reproduction. Factors affecting reproduction (inbreeding, probability of manifesting recessive genetic defects, genetic of reproduction, epigenetics, immunity). Pathophysiology of the reproductive systems. General biotechnology methods - information about in-vitro fertilisation, insemination, cryoconservation of embryonic cells and gametes, aspiration of oocytes and other. Practical application of biotechnological methods in the protection of endangered animals. Biotechnology of human reproduction.

Learning outcomes
|
The goal is to provide students the latest knowledge of physiology of reproductive system in animals including in human and to apply this knowledge in the context of biotechnological methods. In terms of content, attention is focused on the whole areas of reproduction. The first of these is the physiology of the reproductive system (fertilization, embryo development, endocrinology, and other topics). The consequent area is the interpretation of factors that are involved in the expression of a reproductive traits (genetics, inbreeding depression, environment). Attention is focused also in specific reproduction strategy (including specific, such as parthenogenesis, gynandromorfismus, etc.). An important part is devoted to the application of biotechnological methods in reproduction (eg. in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, insemination, cryoconservation of embryonic cells and gametes and other methods). Last lecture is focused to the possibilities of practical application of biotechnological methods in the protection of endangered animals.
Student should be able to (after attending the course): - Compare reproduction systems in different animals. - Characterise physiology of reproduction systems. - Characterise hormonal regulation of reproduction. - Describe basic biotechnology methods - Characterise relationship between genetic and reproduction.
