Annotation -
Please note, the lectures are given in Czech language. English version of the course can be requested in advance if there are at least 3 students. Intentions of this course are to lay the bare essentials of a groundwork for understanding the basic morphological structure of animals [fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals]. This course is closely linked to the lecture Morphology of animals [MB170P46].

Syllabus -

Introduction to the basic rules of anatomical dissection

Practical study of basic morphology and anatomy of four groups of vertebrates : fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals

Last update: Frýdlová Petra, RNDr., Ph.D. (29.01.2017)
Learning outcomes -

Performs anatomical dissections of model vertebrate representatives (fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals) independently using appropriate technical procedures and tools. Identifies and locates major organ systems and specific morphological structures of the studied taxa directly on biological material. Applies methodological principles and safety rules for working in a dissection room and handling dissection instruments. Documents and interprets dissection findings within the context of theoretical knowledge of animal morphology. Distinguishes and compares specific anatomical adaptations of individual vertebrate groups based on practical observation during dissection.
