| Course description |
|
The lecture deals with the processes of gamete (egg or sperm) formation in the reproductive organs (ovary or testis), fertilization, and differentiation of various organs constituting the animal body, focusing on the stage of early development. |
| Expected Learning |
| Learning basic knowledge to understand the regulatory mechanisms of development of the animal and differentiation/maturation process of cells/tissues/organs by studying the developmental process of target tissues, organs or animals in veterinary medicine. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. |
