Fiziologija in morfologija živali – integrativni pristop

Opis predmeta

Predmet obravnava zgradbo in delovanje živali na več ravneh biološke organizacije in pri tem povezuje številne vede in področja raziskav, ki obravnavajo zgradbo in delovanje živali in  človeka: morfologijo in anatomijo, histologijo, etologijo, nevroznanost, kemijo, biomehaniko, fiziko, inženirstvo. Nedavni napredek v molekulski biologiji, vključno z razkritjem zaporedja mnogih genomov, je priložnost za uporabo tega znanja. Novo znanje je pripomoglo k razumevanju, kako geni v kompleksnih sistemih omogočijo emergenčne lastnosti fenotipov. Interdisciplinarni pristop k raziskavam organizmov zahteva uporabo naprednih tehnologij, elektrofiziologije, mikroskopije, spektroskopske analize, tehnike molekulske genetike in računalniške analize slik in signalov. Integracija znanja med številnimi ravnmi biologije je potrebno za razkrivanje temeljnih načel delovanja organizmov pod vplivom različnih biotskih in abiotskih dejavnikov. Integracija znanja je potrebna tudi za uporabo biologije v industriji in družbi.

Cilji in kompetence

Temeljni izobraževalni cilj je razumevanje mehanizmov delovanja organizmov ter njihove regulacije. Pri tem se povezujejo ravni od molekule in celice do odnosa organizmov z okoljem. Študent pridobi kompetence pri razumevanju procesov v živalih in človeku.

Metode poučevanja in učenja

Predavanja, diskusijske delavnice predstavljenih seminarjev, predstavitve v laboratorijih. Pri izvajanju sodelujejo vabljeni predavatelji. Izvedba je prilagojena raziskovalni tematiki študenta.

Predvideni študijski rezultati

Predviden študijski rezultat je nadgraditi in povezati znanje s področja fiziologije, anatomije, morfologije, etologije in uporaba novega znanja za razumevanje delovanja organizmov pod vplivom biotskih in abiotskih dejavnikov.
