The course will also deal with the fundamental processes of embryonic development. Tutorials devoted to observation of histological preparations by optical microscope will deepen the aspects discussed in the lessons. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge of the main morphological and functional characteristics of human tissues with special regard to cells composing them. Knowledge of the fundamental processes of embryonic development and the major molecular mechanisms that regulate them. TEACHING METHODS The course includes classroom teaching lessons on topics of citology, histology and embryology.
