Learning outcomes
Contents of the winter semester (1st) are partly cytology, stressing the importance of the nuclear structure, of the organelles structure, and principles of the cellular division, partly general histology, following the structure, or the ultrastructure, respectively, of tissues regarding to their function in the body. Practical sessions of histology and embryology of the winter semester involve histological techniques, focused on methods important for basic histological investigations in practice, and also cytology, emphasizing the study of cellular ultrastructure, and partly general histology, based on demonstration and study of tissue microscopic structure of animal organism. Embryology is read during both semesters. There are stressed questions of gametogenesis, fertilization, and period of the early ontogenesis. The organogenesis is read integrally with microscopic structure of individual organs and systems. The aim of the course of histology and embryology is to obtain basic knowledge of the microscopic structure and development of animal organisms (above all mammals) and to create preconditions for the study of physiology, pathology and other pre-clinical subjects.
