Course objectives
After the successful completion of course, students should be able to: - discuss the problematics of microscopic structure of individual tissues and organs. - make use of practical information and skills to link the knowledge of microscopic anatomy to macroscopic anatomy and to physiological processes.
Learning outcomes
Students should be able to: - determine and describe microscopic structure of tissues and organs - compare histological differences in selected species of vertebrates - assess structural changes initiated by experimental conditions - evaluate selected pathological processes in laboratory praxis
