VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on selgitada hulkrakse organismi arenguprotsessi ja anda ülevaade viiruste mitmekesisusest, omadustest ning praktilisest tähtsusest.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to give basic knowledge about animal ontogenesisring pathological processes, to provide the basic concepts of biomedicine, and to give an overview about the diversity and importance of different groups of viruses.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Aine läbinud üliõpilane:
- mõistab arengubioloogia põhiprotsesse ja tunneb tähtsamate organite/organsüsteemide arengu käiku;
- tunneb eri viiruste kõige üldisemaid omadusi, mis tulenevad nende genoomi koostisest ja struktuurist.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course the student:
- understands the basic principles of development and knows the course of formation of main organs/organ systems;
- understands the basic properties of different groups of viruses based on their genome content and structure.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Arengubioloogia põhiprintsiibid. Sugurakkude areng, viljastamine. Blastulatsioon, gastrulatsioon, lootevälised koed. Lootelehed ja nende derivaadid. Ektodermaalsed organid (närvisüsteem). Mesodermaalsed organid (somiidid, luustik, lihased, urogenitaaltrakt, süda ja vereringe). Endodermaalsed organid (seedekulgla, hingamiskulgla, endokriinorganid). Sünnijärgne areng ja regeneratsioon.
Viiruste struktuur. Viiruste replikatsioon, transkriptsioon, translatsioon, liikumine rakust rakku ja organismist organismi. Interaktsioonid peremehe ja viiruse vahel. Tähtsamad DNA ja RNA viirused. Satelliitviirused, viroidid. Prionid.
brief description of the course in English
The following topics are taught: Basic principles of developmental biology. Development of gametes, fertilization. Blastulation, gastrulation, extraembryonic tissues. Germinal layers and their derivates. Ectodermal organs (nervous system). Mesodermal organs (somites, skeleton, muscles, urogenital tract, heart and circulatory system). Endodermal organs (digestive tract, pulmonary tract, endocrine organs). Postnatal development and regeneration.
Structure of viruses. Replication, transcription, translation, cell-to-cell movement of viruses. Movement from host to host. Host-virus interactions. Most important DNA and RNA viruses. Satellite viruses, viroids. Prions.
