Course objectives
Main objectives of histology course are as follows: to facilitate medical students verifying of theoretical knowledge obtained during lectures on histological sections and electron micrographs of human tissues and organs; to introduce and explain principles of microscopic identification of tissues and organs; to learn students in correct using of a light microscope and interpretation of observed microscopic entities and findings. At the end of practices, students should be able to understand principles of tissue processing for the light and electron microscopy, to describe structure and ultrastructure of human cells an to know key microscopic characteristics of all important tissues of the human body. The course I is finished with study of organs of 3 body systems: circulatory, lymphatic and respratory.
Syllabus

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.
