Prerequisites
Bi2120 Histology
The course is offered to the students of biology and others interested in human microscopic anatomy, that has already successfully passed the course Bi2120 Cytology, histology and embryology.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
This course is aims to demonstrate human microscopic anatomy and histophysiology of individual organs and organ systems, including the embryonic development.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students are able to characterize microscopic structure of individual organs of human body, explain functional and structural correlations of tissues within organs and organ systems and their embryonic development.
