Learning outcomes
The second semester of Histology and Embryology focuses on the microscopic anatomy and embryology of organ systems.
Students understand the microscopic anatomy of organ systems as well as their embryonic development. This knowledge serves as a starting point for further study of pathological anatomy and clinical disciplines such as pediatrics, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, etc.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the structure of basic tissue types. Knowledge of the early stages of embryonic development.
