HUMAN CYTOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY
basic knowledge of biology are needed, chemistry, histology, anatomy already acquired during high school 2nd grade.
The student must be able to identify the tissues, cells and subcellular structures, a description of microscopic and ultrastructural characteristics and discuss the functional aspects more directly associated with specific morphological organization.
Cytology introduction:
Means of investigation, most common histological techniques. Cell membrane: structure, functions and specializations
Cytoplasmic organisms: smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi, lysosomes, phagocytosis vesicles, mitochondria, cytoskeleton and centriole: structure and function
Core: morphology and composition. DNA, RNA. Brief notes on protein synthesis. Mitosis and meiosis.
Histology:
Epithelial tissue: Coating epithelial tissue, classification, membrane specializations. Glandular tissue. Exocrine and endocrine glandular epithelia, secretory cytology. Connective tissues: connective proper, fundamental substance. Cartilage tissue. Bone tissue. Blood: plasma and blood cells. Muscle tissue: striated skeletal, smooth, cardiac. Nerve tissue: neuron, Nissl clods, extensions, nerve fibers, synapses, neuromuscular plaque
