B Sc Zoology

Beekeeping is career oriented Add-on course conceived to imbibe the importance of Bee keeping and honey processing in relation with entrepreneurship development. It is aimed it giving a better knowledge to the students about various techniques of Bee keeping and honey processing and its marketing to make them self sustainable, as well as to formulate guidelines for an appropriate technology development in honey production.

Applied zoology is a specialization within zoology that uses the knowledge and methods of zoology to solve real-world problems.t is a specialized branch of zoology which deals with animal world that is associated with the economy, health and welfare of humans. It includes culturing animals for mass production for human use and to control or eradicate animals that are injurious to man directly or indirectly.

The branch of science dealing with the components of the immune system, immunity from disease, the immune response, and immunologic techniques of analysis.

In this course, students learn to recognize and to apply the basic concepts that govern integrated body function (as an intact organism) in the body’s organ systems. Students will gain a basic understanding of how the human body works.

Human nutrition can be defined as the science of food and how it is related to health. It involves the processes where all people receive and process the nutrients essential for life. Nutrients themselves are defined as the chemical compounds from food that are found in a person's diet.

Invertebrates are animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column, derived from the notochord. This includes all animals apart from the chordate subphylum Vertebrata. Familiar examples of invertebrates include arthropods, molluscs, annelid, and cnidarians

Bees are one of the many insects in the world that can produce something that is beneficial to all of us. We obtain honey from these bees and as we all know, honey is an important food for human beings. Since ancient times, honey is used for treating several diseases, and it is an antioxidant, therefore beekeeping is an important activity.

Applied Zoology is a discipline that is used to apply existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications.

Applied Zoology is a discipline that is used to apply existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications. As a biological discipline- Zoology has one of the longest histori.

Zoology is the general study of animal behavior but in applied zoology, you have to study different types of animals like marine, forest, dairy and poultry, etc.

Economic zoology deals with the application of zoological knowledge for the benefit of mankind. It includes culturing animals for mass production for human use and to control or eradicate animals that are injurious to man directly or indirectly

Non-chordates are members of Phylum Porifera, Coelenterata, Ctenophora, Platyhelminthes, Aschelminthes, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata and Hemichordata

Reproductive and developmental biology refers to the study of reproduction and embryonic growth.

COURSE OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the students would

1.      Become aware of the wider and newer trends in zoology

2.      Have knowledge of the disease, their causative agents, prevention and control

3.      Identify/diagnose the diseases caused due to disorders in our immune system- deficiency, hypersensitivity auto immune disorders

4.      Develop skills in immunological and microbiological techniques

5.      Appreciate the role of vaccines in control of diseases

The course will ensure that students understand how the body works. The students will be able to describe the roles of the immune system in both maintaining health and contributing to disease.

“Public health nutrition is the art and science of promoting population health status via sustainable improvements in the food and nutrition system. Based upon public health principles, it is a set of comprehensive and collaborative activities, ecological in perspective and intersectoral in scope, including environmental, educational, economic, technical and legislative measures.”

Public health nutrition aims to improve the nutritional status of the entire population at large, with specific focus on those identified vulnerable in the population. It also emphasizes on the prevention of diseases rather than a curative approach and promotes health. It aims at integrating the services for promotion of health in society, to maximize coverage and output. It tries to identify resources existing in the community and maximizes the utilization of these resources in promoting health. It also integrates with local health agencies for the betterment of health and nutritional status of populations. The trends in undernutrition across nations need to be well understood in order to design policies or identify strategies to plan intervention. When observed these trends may differ considerably between developing and developed nations. With respect to actual numbers, those countries that show a high population growth like those representing the South East Asian Region (SEAR) need to differentiate between numbers and proportions when planning for a developing country. This would give the right direction while planning interventions. Similarly under and overnutrition need to be encompassed while planning interventions. It may include alleviating food insecurity on the one hand and preventing the intake of refined foods on the other. Preparedness for both extremes is therefore a priority in developing countries.

The five characteristic features of chordates present during some time of their life cycles are a notochord, a dorsal hollow tubular nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, endostyle/thyroid gland, and a post-anal tail.

Chordates are also bilaterally symmetric, and have a coelom, metameric segmentation, and circulatory system. Chordates are divided into three subphyla: Vertebrata (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals); Tunicata or Urochordata (sea squirts, salps); and Cephalochordata (which includes lancelets).
