COURSE OBJECTIVES
Introduction of basic concepts in zoology, structure and function of tissues, organs and organic systems in animals. Course is providing knowledge and concepts important for understanding morphology, systematics, phylogeny and evolution of animals. Special emphasis is given to comparison of different organic systems and their development in different animal groups. Gained knowledge represent fundamental knowledge that is essential for easier understanding and following other more complex biological courses in their further study.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. to gain knowledge on the basics of animal kingdom contemporary systematic
2. to understand animals organic system structure and function
3. to understand development of structure, morphology and function of animal organs and organic systems in evolutionary context
COURSE CONTENT
LECTURES

2. Structure and function of animals organs and organic systems and their development, structural and functional evolution of different organic systems. Their role in contemporary systematics of animas. Role of development of organyc systems in metabolism of animals.
3. Evolution of body cavities and embryological layers (primary and secondary body cavity) and their function in animal world, extracelular matrix.
4. Structure, development and comparative anatomy of excretory system in different animal phyla (ultrafiltration and active transport)
5. Structure, development and comparative anatomy of circulatory system in different animal phyla. Role of body cavities in evolution of animal circulatory system.
