Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of the lectures and practical work sessions in zoology, the student will acquire a good knowledge of the following elements:
-Understanding the structural plans of large animal phyla allowing a comparison of the structures and functions of their organs and systems (e.g. integuments, sensory organs, life cycles, respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, excretory system, reproductive system, locomotion,...).
-Understanding the classification of the animal kingdom (protozoans, porifers, cnidarians, triploblastic proto and deuterostomes)
-Mastery of the dissection techniques for different invertebrates and correct illustration of the investigated organisms.
-Ability to identify and classify an unknown organism based on anatomical features.
Content of UE
The Zoology course will focus on exploring the classification of the animal kingdom and the structural plans of the different phyla, from protozoans to the first chorded deuterostomes. For each investigated phylum, the structure and function of the different organs and systems will be described with a focus on life cycles, integument, sensory organs, locomotion and their different associated systems (digestive, reproductive, excretory, circulatory, respiratory,...). Many illustrations will help to understand the biodiversity associated with each phylum.
