Learning outcomes
PR19.12 Apply specialized professional knowledge and practical skills to address research and practical tasks in the field of reproductive biology, and develop practical recommendations based on research findings in reproductive biology and related sciences. PR20.12 Develop a systematic approach to the analysis and interpretation of new findings on the characteristics of ontogenetic development under normal and pathological conditions, drawing on advanced knowledge acquired through professionally oriented practical courses.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of disciplines "Biology of individual development", "Biochemistry", "Physiology and anatomy of man and animals", "Histophysiology reproductive system, "Hormonal regulation of ontogenesis". 2. Ability to independently apply knowledge of cytology, histology, biochemistry, physiology, etc. disciplines for solving specific scientific and practical problems; work with scientific and scientific-methodical literature. 3. Possession of basic skills in working with light microscopes, cytophysiological analysis of histological preparations of the reproductive organs system and embryonic material.
Course content
Discipline allows to get a holistic view of the patterns of development of human embryos in different trimesters of pregnancy and features of histogenesis of human functional systems in the prenatal period. The study analyzes the dynamics of age-related changes in the structural and functional organization of the reproductive system in postnatal ontogenesis, including periods of prepubertal and puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation and differences in the restructuring of reproductive organs in men and women in adulthood and aging.
