Course objectives:
|
This course is allocated for students of the Anthropology of Past Populations study programme. The aim of the course is to give students basic understanding of the origins of human variation and its manifestations to human functional anatomy and physiology. An emphasis is put on genetic mechanisms causing variation (through the structure of DNA, replication, transcription, translation), including Mendelian and population genetics, relationship of inheritance to prenatal and postnatal ontogeny, and environmental influences. These mechanisms are explained in the context of the whole human body and its physiology (bodily regulation, homeostasis, hormonal, nervous, and immune system) but also on the level of anatomical and physiological differences between human populations.
|
Requirements on student
|
Oral exam. 3 questions from genetics, human body and ontogeny.
|
Content
|
1. Introduction to the APM programme and to the human biology. 2. Introduction to the human inheritance and origins of variation (structure of DNA, replication, transcription, introns and exons, splicing, mRNA, translation, tRNA, triplets and coding of aminoacids, proteosynthesis, primary to quaternary structure of proteins, protein function). 3. Genetic mechanisms of human variation (chromosomes, mutations, gene linking, crossing over, postreproductive sources of human variation). 4. Mendelian inheritance and its expression into the phenotype. 5. Population genetics, allel distribution, polymorphisms, microevolutionary forces. 6. Cell, cell cycle, mitosis, cell function in relation to inheritance. 7. Reproductive system, meiosis and the production of gametes, fertilization and how it relates to genetic mechanisms of human variation. 8. Prenatal ontogenesis, parturition, postnatal growth and development in various environmenst. 9. Hormonal regulation of physiological processes. Immune system. 10. Nervous regulation (reflex arc, from a neuron to the spinal cord). 11. Brain, its evolution and function of its constituent parts. 12. Population specificity of the cardiovascular system in relation to the environment. 13. Digestive, pulmonary, and excretory systems and their relation to regulating mechanisms.
