| Recommended for: | School of Medicine (all 2nd-year students and some 3rd-year students) (To constitute one part of the 10 units of bodily organs.・1.5 hours / session Four sessions / week 4 weeks / semester) |
In order to facilitate the understanding/realization of three-dimensional growth of organs and animal bodies, embryos of several different species (mouse, chick, zebrafish, and frog; some of which are live) are presented via microscope. Students can watch them on a large (2 m x 3 m) screen (to which images captured by the microscopes and cameras are projected) and also directly observe them during break time. ES cells and iPS cells (fixed) are also provided for microscopic observation. Textbooks and a variety of reference books are displayed on the desks. In this way the classroom, enriched with a variety of scientific materials, acts like a lab or museum.
