Purpose and description of the content of education:
The subject provides knowledge of the histology of vertebrates, invertebrates, and humans. Students learn about animal tissues' exact structure, origin, and functions in animal and human organisms. During laboratory classes, students develop their skills in operating a light microscope, analyzing microscope slides (recognition of individual tissues and their characteristics), and preparing documentation as a biological drawing.
