Overview

This course explains to the student the relationship between general zoology and various related sciences such as (histology, embryology, physiology, etc.), explains the different cell structures and functions (cell membrane, nucleus, nucleic acids, cytoplasmic organelles), and enables the student to identify the structure of the all systems in the body, the functions of the various organs of the body, and the physiological and mechanical processes related to those functions. It also explains the different types of animal tissues, their structures, their locations, and their function within each organ.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course the student will be able to:

a. knowledge and understanding:

  • Recognize the concept of animal science, the animal cell, its various structures, and the function of its biological and chemical components.
  • Knows all the different body systems and the functions of all body organs and their mechanism of action.
  • Discusses the concept of the body's internal balance and classifies the different tissues of the body and their location and function of each tissue.

b. Mental c skills:

  • With regard to the acquisition of intellectual and scientific skills, the student who has passed this course should be able to:
  • Connects different sciences and explains the mechanisms of vital processes in the cell and organs of the body to achieve internal balance (Homeostasis).
  • Connects the histological structure of the body's organs and the function of the organ.
  • Applying laboratory concepts in the use of light microscopes and preparing microscopic samples.

c. Practical & professional skills:

  • Communication and teamwork with colleagues by working in groups in the laboratory.
  • Commitment to the time and ethics of the university student and discipline with the laws and regulations of the college.
  • Solve the general problems faced as a student through cooperation and teamwork.

d. Generic and transferable skills:

Teaching and learning methods

  • Theoretical lectures based on good diction and the use of the mental sharing method.
  • Practical lectures on the use of a microscope to identify microscopic samples or images displayed on the DATA SHOW.
  • The use of illustrative scientific models videos

Methods of assessments

The assessment strategy for the student in this course consists of three elements:
  1. The first mid-term exam (written + practical), 25%.
  2. The second midterm exam (written + practical), 25%.
  3. Final exam (written + practical), 50%.
