    Overview

    Neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction. Female and male reproductive biology. Genetics of reproduction.

    ANAT 333 looks in detail at fertility, the biology of testicular, ovarian and uterine function, and the mechanisms the brain uses to drive reproductive hormone secretion.

    Learning Outcomes
    • Demonstrate an understanding of some of the major theories in, and current experimental evidence for, key aspects of reproductive biology
    • Be familiar with key techniques used in experimental reproductive biology and be able to demonstrate how you would use these to investigate specific questions
    • Demonstrate an ability to integrate information given in different lectures and to use this information to discuss aspects of reproductive biology
    • Exhibit an awareness of the experimental basis of reproductive science, and be able to understand and interpret experimental data
