(syllabus)
The chordates and phylogenetic relationships of Vertebrates and their characteristics. Sex features and reproduction. Migration of germ cells and gametogenesis. fertilization: processes of sperm maturation and egg, the role of MPF, a meeting of the gametes, fast and slow block of polyspermy, MPF and calcium role in the post-fertilization processes, modification of the cytoplasm. The segmentation events that direct cell division and the formation of the blastocoel, again: MPF role. Gastrulation, cell movements and the formation of sheets: entoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. The molecules that lead the gastrulation (morphogenetic factors and cadherins). The neurulation: formation of the neural tube, neural crest cells and the role of the notochord. extra-embryonal membranes and coelomic pouches formation.Organogenesis formation and organization of the integument, scales and teeth. Organogenesis and organization of skeletal bone (skull, vertebrae and apparatus appendiceal) and muscles (notes). Organogenesis and general organization of the central and peripheral nervous system. The endocrine system: hypothalamus-pituitary glands, pineal gland, thyroid/parathyroid, adrenal gland, gonads, intestine. Organogenesis and organization of the respiratory, circulatory and heart. Organogenesis and organization of the urogenital system. Laboratory (1 CFU- 8 hrs) IT IS MANDATORY TO FOLLOW THE LABORATORY to gain the credit. The attainment of the CFU will have a maximum duration of two academic years to take the exam. Practical (in person with signature) and telematic CFU programs will be exposed by the teacher and will cover the topics of the course. The hours in attendance will be 8; obviously, these may undergo variations depending on the pandemic situation (the teacher will organize them during class hours and will inform you on the moodle forum). In general, the program of practical exercises will focus on: morphogenesis: watching movies, and microscopic preparations related to the development (echinoderms, fish, amphibians, birds, mammals). Practical vision (prepared macroscopic and microscopic): organization of the integument of vertebrates. Skull and skeleton of vertebrates. Organization of the respiratory system (lungs and gills) in Vertebrates. Organization of the circulatory system and the heart in vertebrates. Organization of the urogenital and endocrine systems in vertebrates. Digestive System.
