Talk:Lecture - 2016 Course Introduction
Course Introduction
Course coordinator This first lecture will be a general introduction to the course and the subject of Embryology.
- Firstly, an introduction to the course, its content, method of presentation, assessment and an opportunity to ask questions.
- Secondly, some historic background to the subject and related current Australian trends. I do not expect you to remember specific historic dates or statistical data, this is provided as an introduction to the topic.
I like my lectures to be interactive, so ask me questions and I will also be asking you questions!

ANAT2341 Course Outline
I will spend the first half going through the current course design, online support and assessment criteria. This is an opportunity to ask the coordinator questions about the course.
Audio from this lecture is available from ECHO360 or by the link within Moodle.

Fly Development - The fruitfly (drosophila) was and is the traditional geneticist's tool. It has been transformed to an magnificent embryologist's tool, with developmental mechanisms being uncovered in this system combined with homolgy gene searches in other species. The fly genome was one of the first to be been completely sequenced. In early development nurse cells sacrifice their cytoplasmic contents to allow egg growth and early pattern formation is through the localization of maternal messenger RNAs (mRNAs). | |
Worm Development - Early embryological studies of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C.Elegans, so called because of its "elegant" curving movement) characterized the fate of each and every cell in the worm through all stages of development. This worm has recently had its entire genome sequenced. | |
Zebrafish Development - Zebrafish are seen as the latest and greatest "model' for embryological development studies. They can be easily genetically altered and develop as practically "see through" embryos, all internal development can be clearly observed from the outside in the living embryo. |

Average maternal age in 2011 was 30.0 years, the same as 2009 but still more than the earlier years (2000, 29.0 years; 2002, 29.4 years). | Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) was used by 3.8% (2009, 3.6%) of women who gave birth. |
