About Course

SYLLABUS TO BE COVERED:

1) Protochordata: Origin of chordates; general features and life history of Branchiostoma and Herdmania.

2) Pisces: Respiration, locomotion and migration.

3) Amphibia: Origin of tetrapods, parental care, paedomorphosis.

4) Reptilia; Origin of reptiles, skull types, status of Sphenodon and crocodiles.

5) Aves: Origin of birds, flight adaptation, migration.

6) Mammalia: Origin of mammals, dentition, general features of egg laying mammals, pouched mammals, aquatic mammals and primates, endocrine glands (pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, gonads) and their interrelationships.

7) Comparative functional anatomy of various systems of vertebrates (integument and its derivatives, endoskeleton, locomotory organs, digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system including heart and aortic arches, urino-genital system, brain and sense organs (eye and ear). Duration: 20 days (tentative, may take more time)
