Prerequisite

BIO322

Overview

The course is concerned with the anatomical study of the various animal organs with a comparative study of the following organs in different groups of vertebrates: the outer wall (skin) - the digestive system - the respiratory system - the skeletal system - the nervous system - the circulatory system - the genitourinary system

Intended learning outcomes

1. Ability to understand the different structures of the body of living organisms

2. Enables him to dissect diverse organisms and be able to recognize different organs

3. clarify the concepts of the phenotypic and physiological anatomical study of the different classes of the animal kingdom

4. A comparative study of the following organs and organs in the seven denominations

Teaching and learning methods

1. Lectures and presentations by PowerPoint and documentaries supporting the lecture

2. Preparing reports in an assignment to be evaluated for some of the topics that need to be checked and researched

3. The practical activity is that each student dissects and describes the full terminology of each animal he aims to dissect on a predetermined day and documents this by filming a video that collects all the work at the end of the semester

Methods of assessments

Methods of evaluating students in this course: (semester work 40% and final 60%)

Documenting the practical lessons with reports attached to an explanatory video, and each 4 students presented the reports and explanatory videos to their group

Semester work: divided between written midterm exams, assignments and assignments

Final written exam.
