Course Objectives

Introduction to Zoology, Lab: Laboratory Rules, microscope and parts and types, how studying with microcope.

Cytology: presented cell and organelles, Lab: Body, axis, planes and symmetry types in animals.

Presented Mitosis-meiosis cell dividing, Lab: with preparation onion roots.

Embryology, segmentation, blastula,gastrula phases, Lab: differencies between plant and animal cells with observation tongue epitelial cells and onion membran cells with light microscope.

Histology: Epithel tissue, Connective tissue, Lab: observation Epithel types with microscope in different slides with ligth microscope.

Connective tissue types (Blood tissue, Bone tissue, Adipose tissue,Cartilage tissue etc), Lab: observation these tissue types with ligth microscope.

Muscle, nervous and circulation system:Lab: Blood tissue cell types, blood group types, defining blood groups.

Respiration and digestive systems,Lab: presented locomotion in vertebrates with presented mainly bones and muscles in a vertebrat animal.

Circulation system and heart,Lab: giving heart anatomy cutting cattle heart; capillary circulation in extremities of frogs.

Excretory system. genital system, heredity; Lab: anatomic observetion on cattle eyes and kidneys.

Sense organs, systematic categories, Lab: protista; microscobic observation some protists can be found in pool water.
