Description:
The module provides basic knowledge about the structure and function of the basic cell substructures and organelles. The module presents the relationships between the structure and function of tissues and organs. It also instructs students about basic microscopic techniques and microscopic observations. Students learn how to use a light microscope, acquire and develop their ability to conduct simple microscopic observations and to document them. Discussion session comprise the basics of the structure and function of the cell substructures and organelles and define tissue and the classification system, origin, framework and distribution of plant and animal tissues. Discussion session content: Eukaryotic cell structure; comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; organelle structure and function in plant and animal cells; Growth and development of plants; plant cell differentiation; plant tissue definition and classification. Animal tissue definition and classification; Characteristics of animal tissues: epithelial tissue; connective tissues; cartilage and bone tissue; ossification; blood; muscle tissue; nervous and glial tissues.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of cell biology and biology.
