Annotation -
The course deepens the basic knowledge on microscopic anatomy of human body and includes applications of
histology in medicine. First, students are guided through strategies for the description of histological specimens.
Second, the microscopic anatomy of sensory organs will be illustrated thoroughly. Third, we explain the use of
immunohistochemical methods for specific detection of tissue antigens and provide examples of the use of
immunohistochemistry. Fourth, we present liquid biopsy techniques using the molecular genetic profile of tumor cells
obtained from blood and urine samples. Fifth, we review histological procedures used for microscopic analysis of tissues
and organs in forensic medicine. Last, students will apply their knowledge on histological structure of human body when
solving simplified case studies in a format of a problem-based discussion.

Learning outcomes -

Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to:
  • Describe in microscopic slides: cell shapes; shapes, number and staining of nuclei; staining of cytoplasm, organelles and components of intercellular matter
  • Formulate a verbal description of a randomly selected human organ specimen and proceed from low magnification and a wide field of view to details visible at high magnification
  • microscope resolution.
  • Compare the normal reference ranges for a blood cout in a male and a female
  • Explain the selection of aged erythrocytes; explain the occurrence of agglutinogens and agglutinins in blood AB0 system groups.
  • Identify all formed blood elements in normal blood smear; describe their microscopic structure and appearance and discuss their functions
  • Evaluate the main advantages as well as disadvantages of liquid biopsy approaches and compare this approach with conventional, so-called solid biopsy of tumor tissue at different stages of development and treatment of cancer (early detection of disease, determination of prognosis, selection of appropriate therapy, evaluation of treatment effect, early detection of disease relapse)
  • List the individual steps in the preparation of an immunohistochemical specimen, starting with the collection and fixation of the material; give 3 examples of the practical use of immunohistochemistry in diagnostics.
  • Describe the importance of positive and negative controls in immunohistochemical staining
  • Suggest histological methods suitable for detection or interpretation: Acute haemorrhage; Residues after chronic haemorrhage including siderophages; Calcification; Amyloid; Leukocytes in general and T-lymphocytes; Protein cylinders after rhabdomyolysis; Cytological examination of vaginal smear; Fat droplets (e.g. in fat embolisation)
  • Solve simplified problems based on knowledge and skills in histology
