Course objectives
In practise students test, deepen and fixate knowledge gained during lectures. The programme of practise strictly follows the programme of lectures and supplements it with chosen model experiments and model tasks. The first part of a semester deals with model exercises from the field of molecular and cellular biology and genetics – transcription and translation of genetic information, DNA replication and molecular base and consequences of mutations issue. The second part of the semester concerns with investigation into chosen histological sections, photographs of cells and chosen parts of teaching videos related to structure and function of various cells and human body tissues.
Syllabus
  • Expression of genetic information – model tasks. Molecular base of genetic, chromosome and genome mutations. News from molecular genetics: human genes for sports performance, for issue of pathological addictions leading to obesity, etc. Types of cells and tissues. Cell in light and electron microscope. Investigation and drawings of chosen histological sections. Fluorescent microscopy – principle, application. Direct and indirect fluorescence. Immunofluorescence. Visualization of microtubules and actin microfilaments by use of fluorescent microscopy. Demonstration of chromosome aberrations by use of fluorescent methods. Types of communication between a cell and a virus. Cell necrosis, cell apoptosis. Destiny of cells in multicellular (human) organism. Demonstrations of practical application of a video during lessons in primary schools with the aim to solve some chosen simple exercises from cytology.
