Nature, PurposeandMission oftheCurriculum
Animal Biology is a compulsory basic course for bioscience subject. It is the basis for learning Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell Biology, Microbiology , Molecular Biology and other specialized courses.
The course consists of General Zoology and Animal Physiology. Zoology mainly study on the morphology, classification, origin, evolution and ecology of animal, that is the morphological basis for learning animal physilogy. Animal Physiology mainly study on the structure and physiology function of breathing, digestion, circulation, urinary system, reproductive and nervous system, how these features are implemented, as well as by what factor regulate and control issues. After learning this curriculum, student should master the evolutionay process of animal and the main feature of phylum, should master the normal physiology function of various systems and organs of the body, should master the basic knowledge and terminology of this course.
Basic Requirements of the Teaching
The animal biology is the course combined with phylogenetic,morphological and function.Students must pay attention to the learning of the experimental class at the same time of learning theory course.Histological sections,specimens and animal body anatomy should be arranged in the course of zoology partment.Some expetiments should be arranged to develop the abilities of students, the theory with the practical and the ability to observe and analyze problems in the course of physiology partment. Evaluation scores according to theory courses accounted for 80% and the experimental class accounted for 20% to calculate.
