Anatomy of Domestic and Non-domestic Animals Post Graduate Program

Full time M.Sc. and PhD. Courses in Anatomy of Domestic and Non-Domestic Animals will be of 4 or 8 semester programs, respectively. This two (Msc.) or four (PhD.)
years program offers an exciting opportunity to students who are interested in Anatomy and
Histology and who wish to pursue courses for industry and business, research and teaching.
The program offers computer oriented courses and extensive laboratory training. As part of
an effort to learn new macro, microscopic and immune techniques that can be used to
address regional and country problems, the program includes lectures and laboratory
training. Msc. students have to fulfill 36 credit hours as well as 52 credit hours for PhD.
students. For more information, please contact Chair Professor Maria Angélica Miglino
([email protected]).

1. Profa. Dra. Maria Angélica Miglino 2. Prof. Dr. Carlos Eduardo Ambrósio 3. Prof. Dr. José Roberto Kfoury Junior AIMS: Increase knowledge and offer the opportunity of laboratory training on anatomical
and immunological techniques to be applied to research projects. In addition, macro,
microscopic and associate techniques would be compared and discussed to facilitate
decisions on each student working research hypothesis and result interpretation. The
students would be trained to prepare anatomical structures for research and teaching.

classifications and relate them to their functions. Placenta and fetal membrane architecture
and morphology would be extensively addressed both in domestic and non-domestic
animals.

RATIONAL: Placenta is defined as a temporary organ joining fetal and maternal tissues to
elicit physiological transfer between mother and fetus. Most part of animal species present
the chorion-allantois placenta and the comprehension of mechanisms involved in
physiological transfer have to consider anatomical, histological and biochemical aspects in
each different species.

1. History od placenta and placentation
2. Placenta classification: critical analysis. Microscopic aspects of placenta and related
function
3. Morphology of egg components
4. Oviparity and viviparity differences
5. Modern classification of placentation
6. Anatomical and functional aspects of placenta circulatory flow
7. Maternal and fetal circulatory system
8. Methodology on placental microcirculation investigation
9. Trophoblast orign and development
10. Embryo implantation related to different classifications of placenta.
11. Trophoblast: morphology and physiology in different species
12. Extra-cellular matrix role in trophoblast physiology

AIMS: Offers the opportunity to learn “state-of-art” on toti and multipotent stem cells from
different tissue sources and animal clonning. Oocyte isolation, nuclear cell fusion and
organogenesis (from morulae to embryo gastrulation and neurulation) aspects would be
extensively addressed.

RATIONAL: Advances on genetics and molecular biology are leading to relevant changes
in veterinary medicine markedly on stem cell technology and its clinical applications.
Regenerative medicine is also an open window. All thoses perspectives are a potencial
research field for young investigators who should be aware of stem cells potencial and
applications. In addition, cloning, despite its moral and ethics aspects, is also a
biotechnology that must be addressed due to its potential contributions to animals and
human health. Histology and embryology research are therefore sciences redirected to
cytophysiology and developmental biology.

1. Stem cells: morphology and classification of toti and multipotent cells
2. Stem cells tissue sources: isolation techniques from bone marrow, embryonic annexes
and other possible tissues

AIMS: Offers the opportunity to increase knowledge on embryonic and fetal membranes of
different animal domestic and non-domestic species. Systems development and its
phylogenetic correlations would be addressed. Training on embryo and fetal membrane
collection, isolation, analysis and processing would be obtained.

RATIONAL: Morphogenetic processes are relevant to architectural and position of organs
in the body. This knowledge is also relevant to morphology comprehension and to
understand embryonic cells applications to cell therapy in both human and animal diseases.
