Course objectives
Main objectives can be summarized as follows: (1) intensifying of basic knowledge about problematics of general zoology; (2)observation of structure and funtion of the animal cell; (3)recognizing of particular characteristic tissues and organs; (4) acquirement of skills necessary during work with microscope; (5)skills necessary during drawing record; (6) creating generally positive attempt to autopsy studies is very important too.
Syllabus

Teaching methods
Laboratory practices - students alone under supervision of tutor observe and draw available permanent microscopical preparations.
Assessment methods
Requirements for credit: active participation on practices (every absence is required to be compensated), final presentation of completed exercise book or set of documents with work sheets original drawings and successful passing of practical identification examination (students will be able, from photographs of observed microscopical preparations, to identify, which kinds of tissues they represent).
Language of instruction
Czech
