Annotation
Tuition in Histology and Embryology I includes cytology, general structure of normal human tissues and organs at the light and electron microscopic levels. Morphology of cellular elements and characteristic components of extracellular matrix are emphasized. In the course of practical classes, students become familiar with basic differential diagnostics in identification of human tissues at light microscopic level and with basic histological techniques. In embryology, students acquire knowledge of prenatal development of the human beings in the early phases of embryogenesis (1st - 3rd prenatal week).
Entry requirements: pre-requisites not given
Outcomes (subject Histology and Embryology I): 1. the student acquires theoretical knowledge of the structure of the cells, of the normal tissues (epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve tissues) and of the organs (of the cardiovascular, immune and respiratory systems) at the level of light and electron microscopy 2. the student acquires the practical knowledge necessary for differential diagnosis for the identification of the human tissues at the level of light microscopy 4. the student acquires basic knowledge of the histological techniques 3. the student acquires theoretical knowledge of prenatal development of the human beings in the early phases of embryogenesis (1st - 3rd prenatal week)
