Learning outcomes
The aim of the Course is to introduce students to common structural and functional properties of animals, their taxonomy and basic organology and to prepare them for studies of special zoology, physiology and molecular cell biology. The Course is focused on the morphology, chemoarchitectonics and functional properties of animal cells and tissues responsible for the basic morphology and functions of organs and the organism, e.g. body support, the outer and inner body barriers, homeostasis of inner enviroment, metabolism, energetics, biological signals and their receptoprs, irritability and excitability, movement, reproduction, immunity, adaptation and reparation processes etc.. The Course includes also principles of genetic manipulation of cells and animals, incl. construction of GM organisms. The Lab sessions will include introduction to laboratory instruments and methods used for studies of cells, tissue and the whole organisms. The lecture-provided information will be trained by anatomical models, light- and EM microscopic specimens, PC and web picture galleries and interactive computer programs.

Prerequisites
Teaching in English is meant only for erasmus and foreign students. In the case of a small number of students is teaching in a form of individual consultations.
