Course objectives
Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to:
1. Describe tissue processing for light and electron microscopy. 2. Understand and explain the structure of a cell, basic structural principles and function of connective tissues, features of epithelial tissue, structure of different types of muscle tissue, structure and function of nervous tissue. 3. Identify tissue types and organs of circulatory, lymphatic and respiratory systems in histologic slides. 4. Characterize microscopic structure of some organs of human body and explain correlations of tissues within organs. 5. Describe gamete development, explain principle of meiosis and regulation of gametogenesis. 6. Define the early embryonic development as well as development of fetal membranes, placenta and umbilical cord. 7. Characterize main phases of prenatal development.

practicals (course of practical microscopy)
Assessment methods
In the course students observe histological slides and electron micrographs in microscopic hall. A precondition for obtaining the course-unit credit is full attendance. Students are obliged to show basic knowledge of studied topic, which is checked by short oral exam or by test 3 times in the semester. Answers are classified with 100, 60, 25 or 0 points. A minimum of points for credit obtaining is 180.
