Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam, Written assignment, Test

Students will be able to describe ontogeny, gastrulation. They will learn the basics of histology and organology. They will be oriented to the phylogeny of the musculoskeletal system, as well as systems such as digestive, respiratory, excretory, vascular, nervous, hormonal, sexual and sensory. Students will complete logs of each exercise and develop assignments based on a visit to a selected zoo. Students will independently study information about the phylogeny of the nervous and sensory systems, the digestive system and the sexual system in vertebrates. Students will produce logs of individual exercises and develop assignments based on a visit to a selected zoo.
