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 optician, 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 and function of epithelial tissue, connective and supporting tissues, muscle tissue including mechanism of muscle contraction, nerve tissue and blood; d) identify basic tissues in histological slides (physiotherapists only - during Histology excercise); e) analyze the microscopic structure and function of main organs of systems (nervous system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, endocrine system, organ of vision, organ of hearing and balance, integumentary system).
Learning outcomes
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 and function of epithelial tissue, connective and supporting tissues, muscle tissue including mechanism of muscle contraction, nerve tissue and blood;
d) identify basic tissues in histological slides (physiotherapists only - during Histology excercise);
e) analyze the microscopic structure and function of chosen organs of systems.
