Course objectives
Histology deals with microscopic structure of plant and animal organisms incl. the human body and involves cytology, general histology, and microscopic anatomy. At the end of the course students according to their future professional orientation (physiotherapists or optometrists) should be able to: a) define basic terms and categories of the subject and apply used classification system in the praxis; b) describe and explain structure and function of animal cells on submicroscopic and molecular levels; c) describe and explain structural characteristics of epithels, connective and supporting tissues (incl. their function), muscle tissue including mechanism of muscle contraction and nerve tissue; d) identify basic tissues in histological slides (physiotherapists only); e) analyze the microscopic structure and function of main organs of systems related to professional orientation (physiotherapists - muscles, joints and ligaments, central and peripheral nervous system; optometrists - organ of vision, central and peripheral nervous system); f) understand existing close interrelations between structure and function of individual tissues and organs of the human body.
