Integrated course unit module: HUMAN ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY (ATT)

Learning objectives

<br />
At the end of the Histology course, students should possess knowledge of the structure of human cells and cellular aggregations, in their respective forms as tissues, multiple-tissue units and morpho-functional units, and they should be able to recognise them under an optical microscope. They should also be familiar with the principal morphological and biological features of human development. <br />
Lastly, students have to show that they have acquired at least rudimental knowledge of the fundamental requisite of the art of medicine: a capacity for observation, and then describing what has been observed using appropriate language: and in this specific instance, what has been revealed by microscopic observation. <br />
