About Study Course
Objective
To learn the normal human histology in light and electron microscopy.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Knowlege of normal histology of human cells and tissues, differences from pathologically changed cells.
Skills
1.Diagnostic interpretation of healthy cells and tissues, the ability to distinguish changed tissue from morphologically unchanged tissue, which is necessary in the daily work of a pathologist.
Competences
1.Distinguish normal cells or tissues from pathologically altered cells or tissues to diagnose various pathologies.
