Annotation
Basic description of the structure and function of cells and tissues. Basic histological methods.
Blood and hemopoiesis. Immune system.
Microscopical anatomy of the cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive, respiratory and urogenital systems. The students should be able to recognise and analyse the histological preparations according to the list of preparations.
The matter and scope of the subject will be coordinated with the curriculum of anatomy and pathology.
