300068 UE Practical courses in Zoology, part 1 (2022W)

On the basis of selected species, a comparative elaboration of the anatomy and organisation of important animal phyla and subgroups has to be achieved. This Part 1 deals with chordate animals and vertebrates and with arthropods. The preparatory lectures consist of an online part (available as BBB screen casts on Moodle several days before the respective courses) and a lecture (in presence) before the start of the practical. The preparation provides the theoretical background and specific tasks for each course. Therefore, both parts are mandatory preparations for the dissection of animals and microscopical assessment of histological sections during the course. Overview and detailed drawings of the objects have to be made.
