Course Outcomes

• Describe the scope of Zoology, taxonomic hierarchy and differences between chordates and non-chordates.
• Classify Protozoa up to class level and conduct a detailed study of Paramecium, covering structure, locomotion, osmoregulation and reproduction.
• Illustrate the anatomy, histology and physiology of the human digestive system and explain the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients.
• Analyze the different types of dentition in mammals, including dental differentiation, succession and formulas for human, horse, and dog.
• Evaluate the efficiency of the human digestive system by interpreting histological observations and physiological functions (e.g., nutrient absorption).
• Create a systematic report or chart demonstrating the classification of Protozoa or the functional organization of the digestive system.
• Identify and classify invertebrates (Protozoa) from Kingdom to Class, including Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and Plasmodium.
• Examine the histology of digestive organs (liver, pancreas, stomach, and small intestine) through permanent slides.
• Prepare and observe protozoan cultures and examine Paramecium through whole mounts, focusing on binary fission and conjugation.
• Analyze the dentition in mammals using specimens and charts, and interpret dental formulas for human, horse, and dog.
• Illustrate the action of salivary amylase (ptyalin) on starch and evaluate its role in carbohydrate digestion.
• Create a comprehensive report or visual representation summarizing protozoan diversity, and digestive system organization.
