Course Name : Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates

Code(Credit) : CUTM1504(3-2-1)

Course Objectives

    • • To make a comparative study of the anatomy of an organ in different groups of vertebrates

 

    • • To derive the evolutionary significance from it

 

    • • Tto understand as to why an organ evolved the way it is present now.

Course Outcomes

COs Course Outcome Mapping COs with POs

(High-3, Medium-2, Low-1)

CO1 Students recognize vertebrate structural principles by studying all body systems of vertebrates in an evolutionary perspective. PO1-3, PO7-1, PO9-2
CO2 Compare and contrast the anatomical systems of different vertebrates and identifycommon traits across species and groups. PO1-3, PO4-2, PO9-2
CO3 Compare and contrast the anatomical systems of different vertebrates and identifycommon traits across species and groups. PO1-3, PO2-2, PO9-2
