AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning the main notions of specific histology with insights into some tissues of particular relevance such as blood, lymphoid tissue, epithelial tissue and glandular lining associated with the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems.

 Learning the basic principles of the main methods of histological staining and immunohistochemical reactions.

The student will have to acquire the ability to observe and then describe with suitable language what the observation has revealed; in the specific case, what was found by microscopic observation.

TEACHING METHODS

Observation of histological preparations by optical microscope and monitors connected with optical microscopes. It is possible that the way in which the lessons are carried out is changed due to emergency situations that prevent lessons from being held in the presence. In this case the lessons will be carried out through the Teams platform using suitable replacement didactic tools, such as images and / or virtual microscope.
