Learning outcomes -

Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to:
  • Classify the types of tissues, cells and components of intercellular matter in organs of the human body.

  • Define and use in the correct context the terms necessary to describe the normal microscopic structure of the organs of the human body.

  • Identify and systematically describe in histological slides the structures important for comparison and differentiation in histological slides of normal human organs, using both light microscopy and scanned virtual slides.

  • Draw and describe simplified diagrams of microscopic preparations of human body organs.

  • Explain the structures on the slide to a second observer (learner or teacher).

  • Identify the organs of the human body from which the microscopic slides were taken.

  • Correlate the microscopic structure of human organs with their function.

  • Solve simplified problems based on knowledge and skills in histology within the range of recommended resources and learning outcomes detailed for each topic.
