OR11A3E - HISTOLOGY

The main objective of the course is to provide students with a theoretical and practical foundation on the normal structure and development of body tissues. Specifically, upon completion of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of the structural organization of cells and tissues. Achieving the course's final objective—studying the disciplines requires morphological knowledge—provides graduates with a cultural foundation useful for practicing their profession and interacting with other professionals.
By the end of the course, students will demonstrate knowledge of:
- histological terminology;
- the structural and molecular organization of the cell;
- the structure and function of tissues;
- the structure and function of tissues.
Knowledge and Understanding: The student must demonstrate mastery of basic knowledge regarding the morphological characteristics of cells and tissues.
Applied Knowledge and Understanding: The student must acquire the ability to describe the morphofunctional characteristics of cells in epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Transversal Skills:
- Independent judgment: Ability to recognize, analyze, and classify tissues and cells.
- Communication Skills: Students must demonstrate the ability to interact professionally and competently with potential interlocutors. Students must demonstrate the ability to convey acquired knowledge clearly and comprehensibly.
- Learning Ability: Students must be able to examine and understand scientific texts so they can use them in everyday professional and research contexts.
Finally, students must demonstrate the ability to apply the concepts and knowledge acquired, demonstrating reasoning according to the specific logic of the discipline. Ongoing learning assessments (through digital learning labs) and a final oral exam are designed to test students' understanding of the subject matter and their ability to solve specific problems.
