| Relation to curriculum | Course description: This course covers the process of animal development from zygote to adult, starting from the process gametogenesis, fertilization, embryogenesis, organogenesis and differentiation stages of various organ systems. Relation to curriculum: This course serves as an important bridge between foundational biological principles and clinical practice in veterinary medicine, providing students with essential knowledge of animal development and the genetic mechanisms underlying health, disease, and breeding practices in diverse species. |
