Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with cell structure, basic structural principles and functions of connective tissues, basic characteristics of epithelial tissue, differences in the construction of individual types of muscle tissue, structure and function of nervous tissue; with the microscopic structure of organs of digestive system and endocrine glands and tissue relationships within organs.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
1. Understand and explain the structure of a cell, basic structural principles and function of connective tissues, epithelial tissue, structure of different types of muscle tissue, structure and function of nervous tissue.
2. Characterize microscopic structure of organs of digestive, urinary and endocrine system.
