Histology, Embryology, Cytology
Description of subject’s syllabus for discipline “Histology, Embriology, Cytology”
for the course 31.05.01 – General Medicine
The total complexity of discipline is 7 ECTS, 252 hours. Main goals of mastering “Histology, Embryology, Cytology” subject are as follows:
mastering the students’ knowledge of the microscopic morphology and functional development of cell, tissue and organ systems of humans providing the relevant part of the theoretical foundation of training professional activities of a doctor.
The study objectives of histology, embryology, cytology are: the study of the general and specific structural and functional properties of an organism of all tissues and cells, patterns its embryonic and post-embryonic development; the study of the histological and functional characteristics of the main body systems, patterns of their embryonic development, as well as functional and protective-adaptive changes in their units and structural elements; histological study of the main international Latin terminology; formation of students' skills of the working with microscopic histological preparations using a light microscope.
Academic discipline “Histology, Embryology, Cytology” refers to the basic part of the block С.1 “Discipline”. “Histology, Embryology, Cytology” is one of the basic disciplines, which is interconnected with the disciplines of biology, human anatomy.
Main provisions of histology, embryology, cytology are needed to explore such disciplines as: pathological anatomy, clinical pathological anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical pathophysiology, forensic medicine.
According to the state curriculum for the course, the study is oriented at developing of the following competences and their elements:
- the ability for abstract thinking, logical analysis and synthesis skills (GEC-1);
- the ability to know how to use medicines, medical products and technologies in solving professional problems (GPC-9);
- the ability to be able to analyse patients complaints and medical history, results of medical examinations, laboratory tests, special equipment diagnostics and others so as to determine the presence or absence of pathologies, medical disorders and diseases (SPC-5);
- the ability to be ready to analyse and submit for public assessment the medical data founded on evidence-based medicine (SPC-20).
The students learn the basic laws of development and the life of the organism on the basis of the structural organization of cells, tissues and organs; histological and functional singularity of tissues, cells and methods of their study; microscopic structure, function and sources of development of cells, tissues and organs; the main stages of embryonic development and their characteristics; critical periods of embryonic development in the course of studying the discipline "Histology, embryology, cytology" .
The students acquire the skills “to generate” to work with magnifying equipment (microscopes, optical and simple loops); give histophisiological assessment of the different cell, tissue and organ structures; “to read” microscopic, histological, histochemical, and some embryological drugs; “to read” electron micrographs of cells and non-cellular structures on the basis of the knowledge.
The students acquire skills in the microscopic analysis of histological preparations and electron micrographs.
Types of educational work: lectures, practical classes.
The study of discipline ends with examination.
