Content
During this course, we will establish the bases of the histological and functional study of the main tissues of mammals. The theoretical concepts taught during the lecture will be followed by practical sessions during which students will examine and describe histological sections as well as images of electron microscopy.
Histological and functional study of: covering epithelia and glandular epithelia; non-specialized connective tissue and specialized connective tissue including adipose, cartilage and bone tissue; blood cells and lymphoid organs; skeletal muscle, heart muscle and smooth muscle; central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
