Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
cell biology, cytology, biochemistry, normal physiology, anatomy and general histology
Objective:
Course Objective is to develop general and specific understanding of basic human development, to gather knowledge of achievements in modern experimental embryology and their practical use in daily work of a doctor, and of the elements and significance of comparative embryology.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
The students study the given readings and literature independently in accordance with the topics of the course; they prepare a presentation at the end of the course; the students analyse human tissue specimens in the laboratory.
Assessment Criteria:
After completion of the course the students will give a presentation on one important topic of the course in connection with appropriate microscopic specimens from the collection of AAI.
Final Examination (Full-Time):Test (Semester)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:Students will be able to describe the plasticity of the hemopoiesis; define and analyse limit of the compensatory / adaptive structural changes and interactions, especially in so called „weak regions” of the above mentioned systems.
Skills:Students will be able to detect real compensatory, adaptive structural changes in microscopic slides of the gastrointestinal and reproductive organ systems, and recognise hemopoietic cells among the mature blood cells. Students will be able to document histological slides and to obtain, assess, classify and compare information from the latest specialist literature and make presentation combining information from slides and literature.
Competencies:Students will be able to recognize tissue and organ morphology and structure in clinical specimens. They will be able to distinguish between healthy and pathological tissues. The students will be able to assess the quality of the specimen and the way they can be used for clinic.
