Course objectives
Course objectives.
At the end of the course students should be able to:
1. Understand and explain the structure of a cell, basic structural principles and function of connective tissues, features of epithelial tissue, the structure of different types of muscle tissue, structure and function of nervous tissue.
2. Identify tissue types in histologic slides.
3. Characterize the microscopic structure of individual organs of the human body and explain correlations of tissues within organs.
4. Describe gamete development, explain the principle of meiosis and regulation of gametogenesis.
5. Define the early embryonic development as well as the development of fetal membranes, placenta and umbilical cord.
6. Characterize stages of embryonic development, describe the development of individual organ systems of the human body.
7. Explain the mechanism of the origin of some developmental anomalies.

Assessment methods
The final examination is composed of the practical part (slide test) and the theoretical part that includes written test and oral exam. In the practical part, the student should identify minimally 8 out of 10 slides. The oral exam includes 2 questions (1 histology, 1 embryology). Rules and conditions applicable for practical training and for examining in Histology and Embryology can be found on the website of the Department of Histology and Embryology (http://www.med.muni.cz/histology/education).
A necessary condition for admission to the exam is to obtain credit from the Histology and Embryology II-practice.
