Anotace

Poslední úprava: doc. RNDr. František Půta, CSc. (06.02.2022)

The course From cells to organisms provides a definition of the multicellularity concept using the synthetic
approach applied to the structure-function relationship. It covers the mechanisms behind the establishment of the
body plans and tussue/organ complexity or sustainability of the complex life forms including evolutionary
principles (evo-devo approach). The general principles of multicellularity will be shown on various models, with
the emphasis to provide a synthesis of the anatomy, morphology, histology, physiology and developmental biology
into one functional educational base.

The course From cells to organisms will set the stage for follow-up courses, particularly Evolution and Ecology.

The course is built from topical blocks (see Syllabus) each of them consisting of lecture (3h) and workshop
focused on primary literature as a Q&A session(2h).

Požadavky ke zkoušce

Poslední úprava: doc. RNDr. František Půta, CSc. (07.02.2022)

Final mark is based on the oral examination (67%) and results of tests taken during the course (33%). Oral examination takes place during the examination period and students must first obtain the evaluation for Q&A sessions and take-home exercises.
