This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of animal biology, focusing on the structure, development, and organization of animals. It provides a solid foundation for understanding how animals are formed, how their tissues are organized, and how they function.
The course is divided into two main parts:
-
Embryology
This part studies the development of animals from fertilization to the formation of organs and systems. Students learn about cell division, differentiation, and the main stages of embryonic development, helping them understand how complex organisms are formed from a single cell. -
Histology
This part focuses on the microscopic structure of animal tissues. Students study the main tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues), their organization, and their biological functions. This allows students to understand how tissues build organs and support physiological processes.
Through this course, students acquire essential knowledge to understand animal structure, development, and biological organization, which is necessary for advanced studies in biological and life sciences.
