Syllabus
  • Specific features of the invertebrates tissues: ciliated epithelia, cuticle of insects and other arthropods, glandular cells, sensory cells, nonstriated muscular tissues, striated muscular tissues of arthropods, connective tissues, nervous tissues. Organs of invertebrates in general: evolution of integument, skeleton, locomotory organs, types of digestive, respiratory and excretory systems, organs of the reproduction, regulatory organ systems and sensory organs; the sources of diversity and continuity of invertebrates organ systems: analogous and homologous organs and other principles of the evolution of the organ systems. Microscopical anatomy of nonsegmented invertebrates - as models are used: Spongilla lacustris, Hydra sp., Planaria sp., Fasciola hepatica, Taenia solium, Parascaris megalocephala. Microscopical anatomy of segmented invertebrates with exception of Arthropods - as models are used: earthworm, fresh water mussel, edible snail, fresh water bryozoans, starfish. Microscopical anatomy of Arthropods - as models are used: european crayfish, Cyclops sp., Daphnia sp., Gammarus pulex, Scolopendra sp., Julus sp., Apis mellifera, Blatta orientalis, Galleria mellonella, Melolontha sp., Chironomus sp., Aranea sp., Ixodes ricinus; morphology and anatomy of various types of Arthropods larvae. Morphology of insect hypopygium and other cuticular sclerites for determination of insect species (Simuliidae, Ceratopogonidae and some other groups).
