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
