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, the 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 the microscopic structure of some organs of the human body and explain correlations of tissues within organs. 5. Describe gamete development, explain the principle of meiosis and regulation of gametogenesis. 6. Define the early embryonic development as well as the development of fetal membranes, placenta and umbilical cord. 7. Characterize main phases of prenatal development.

Teaching methods
In the course, students observe histological slides and electron micrographs in the microscopic hall.
Assessment methods
Testing of knowledge: Students must prove a sufficient level of knowledge by written test examination. Each student completes 4 partial tests during the semester. Tests are evaluated by point for a correct answer. More than half the number of correct answers (points) is evaluated as "Passed". All of these tests must be successful. In case of failure, only 1 resit is possible. There is condition 4 from 4 (ie. 4 P / 4 regular tests) or 4 from 5 (ie. 3 P / 4 regular tests + 1 P / 1 resit). If a student does not fulfill this condition, the credit test follows in the relevant exam period. This test covers all topics studied during the semester. In case of failure in credit test, a credit will not be given and student must enroll the course again.
Conditions for obtaining credit: 1. Attendance at all practical exercises (100% participation, all absences must be regularly excused (in IS) and substituted).
2. Successful completion of all tests.
3. Submission of all protocols (correctly completed forms of protocols signed by teacher).
