Course Description General zoology is a basic subject of life sciences. This course was designed to equip first-year students with knowledge that build up the foundation for the follow-up professional areas of animal medicine. The contents focus on the structures and functions of animal kingdom, including basic cell biology, gene and heredity of life, as well as functional physiology of animal systems. The goal of this course was not to train zoology experts, but to inspire curiosity for exploration of natural phenomena, and to facilitate the transition into the future professional courses in veterinary medicine.
