Curriculum

The aim of the course:
Students will get acquainted with the structure of cells, their organization into tissues and microscopic structure of organs. Moreover, function of particular cellular structures visible under light and electron microscope and the relationship between function and structure of cells and tissues will be presented. These information constitute basis for cytophysiology, physiology, biochemistry and histopathology. During embryology lectures students will be acquainted with early stages of human embryo and fetus development.
The objectives of Histology and Embryology teaching are achieved when students:

• get familiar with the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs on the level corresponding to the scope of internationally recognized textbooks,
• get acquainted with early stages of human development, structure and function of fetal membranes,
• are able to recognize under the microscope structures of cells and tissues as well as organs of the human body.
