Syllabus of General Histology

 GENERAL VETERINARY HISTOLOGY                         2 (1-1)

 

Learning outcomes:

 

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

 

1.    Describe the light and ultra-structure of cell.

2.    Describe and identify the microscopic features of four basic tissues; epithelia, connective and supportive tissues, muscular tissue, nervous tissue.

 

Theory:

Ultrastructure of cell, epithelial tissue: morphology and classification of types of surface epithelia and glandular epithelia, connective and supportive tissue: cells and fibers of connective tissue, microscopic study of different types of supportive connective tissue, light microscopic study of avian and mammalian blood, muscular tissue: light and fine microscopic structure of skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle fibers, nervous tissue: light and fine microscopic structure of nervous tissue cells, neuron, ganglion and nerve.

 

 

Practical:

Microscopy: different parts of microscope and practical use of microscope, slide preparation: practical demonstration of tissue processing techniques and staining procedures. identification of different cell organelles in electron micrographs, epithelium: identification of different types of surface and glandular epithelium, connective tissue: identification of different types of cells, fibers of connective tissue and different types of proper and supportive connective tissue, blood: identification of different types of blood cells, muscular tissue: identification of different tissue sections of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle fibers under light microscope, nervous system: identification of neuron, neuroglia, central and peripheral nervous system: brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
