Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of academic disciplines "Biology of individual development", "Molecular biology", "General histology", "Human and animal physiology", "Zoology". 2. Ability to independently apply knowledge of cytology, histology, biology of individual development, molecular biology, biochemistry, anatomy and others disciplines for solving specific scientific and practical problems; work with scientific and scientific-methodical literature. 3.

Course content
The discipline is a special branch of endocrinology that studies the hormonal regulation of reproductive function. The task of reproductive endocrinology is the analysis of neuroendocrine mechanisms that ensure the formation and active functioning of the reproductive system, provide special forms of reproductive behavior. The course studies the patterns of direct and inverse regulatory relationships in the regulation of reproductive function. The discipline is designed to generalize the idea of ​​the system of regulatory mechanisms in men and women aimed at the implementation of reproductive function, their temporal and ontogenetic organization.
