Prerequisites
Possess sufficient basic knowledge on cell biology and histology
Learning outcomes
The student will assimilate the bases of the biomolecular processes of the cell, and will understand the integreation of the cell in a higher complex as a tissue. This will give the basis for the further courses of Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology.
Course contents
The cell, as the structural and functional unit of living organisms. Methods for studying cells and tissues: light and electron microscopy techniques; cytochemical, biochemical and molecular methods; cell cultures. Prokaryotic cells: their structure, size, cell division mechanisms.
Eukaryotic cells: the structure and function of organelles in animal and plant cells. Cell cycle in eukaryotes: cell division in somatic and germinal cells. Structure and organization of the genetic material. Basic concepts on genetic transmission and evolution in cells, individuals and populations.
Proliferation, differentiation and death of cell populations in animal tissues.
Cell interactions during differentiation and in the tissues. Microscopic anatomy, histology and cell ultrastructure of animal tissues.
The course includes a practical part in which the students will individually examine histological sections at light microscopy.
Teaching methods
lectures and seminars and exercises under the microscope
