1. Zoology, Faculty of Science (v4, p240) : Next:654-305 | Prev:654-303
Note: Experiments involving the use of animals are an essential part of this subject: exemption is not possible.
Credit points: 20.0
Coordinator: Professor M B Renfree and Dr G Shaw
Prerequisite: Zoology 654-202; AND AT LEAST ONE OF Botany 606-205 (Before 1995: 606-203); OR Biochemistry 521-201, 521-202; OR Physiology 536-201, 536-202. Zoology 654-301 and Statistics 619-100 are strongly recommended
Contact: 26 lectures (two a week) and 65 hours practical work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
By the completion of this subject students should:
- understand neuro-endocrine and endocrine control systems and their role in the regulation of reproductive and developmental processes, as well as of the homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the normal functions of the animal body;
- understand and be able to apply the methods of endocrinology and embryology, including surgery;
- understand the morphological development of selected species;
- understand the modern experimental approaches of reproductive physiology and developmental biology.
Content:
Endocrine glands and hormonal control of growth, mating, pregnancy, parturition and lactation in vertebrates. Neuro-endocrine control of reproduction. Human intervention in the reproductive process. Invertebrate endocrinology and development. Nature and control of embryonic development.
Assessment:
A 3-hour end-of-semester written examination on both theory and practical aspects; three practical reports, of up to eight pages each; a review of up to 3,000 words.
