Objectives of the Course - Defining basic biology including microscope, macromolecules, cellular organelle and their function,
- Explaining DNA, RNA, protein, cell division.
- Defining the immunology, different systems of animals, reproduction, development, control systems.
- Explaining basic biological concepts of animals.
Course Content In this course, the processes of thermoregulation, osmoregulation and their importance to control the body’s temperature and water balance will be covered. The course aims at the process of chemical regulation and its importance in the vertebrate endocrine system with hormones. Topics in this course include introductory information about movement and locomotion and the processes of human reproduction, development and embryonic development, and the nervous system’s structure and function, and also the differences between innate and adaptive immune responses.
