Course objectives
The aim of histology course is obtaining foudantions of microscopic identification of human tissues in histological slides. At the end of this course, students should be able to understand principles of tissue processing for the light microscopy and to describe the structure and ultrastructure of the animal cells as well as key microscopic characteristics of various tissue types. Simultaneously they should be able correctly to use a light microscope and to interpret microscopic entities and findings.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course students will be able:
to understand the cell structure, basic principles of structure and function of connective tissues, epithelial tissue, differences in structure of individual types muscle tissue, describe the structure and function of nervous tissue, identify tissues in histologic sections;
to describe microscopic structure of some organs of human body and explain relations between tissues in organs;
to indetify certain structures in histologic sections.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to practical microscopy. Tissue processing and preparation of histological slides. Animal cells in the light microscope.
  • Animal cells in the electron microscope. Ultrastructure of the cell nucleus, cell organelles, and inclusions. The cell membrane and its specializations.
  • Correct use of a light microscope. Morphology of blood corpuscles and white blood cell count.
  • Connective and supporting tissues I - connective tissue proper and special connective tissues. Cartilage.
  • Connective and supporting tissues I - structure and development of the bone tissue.
