Tuition covers two morphological subjects. Tuition in histology includes cytology, general structure of normal human tissues and organs at light and electron microscopic levels. Morphology of cellular elements and characteristic components of extracellular matrix are emphasized. In the course of practical classes, students become familiar with basic differential diagnostics in identification of human tissues at light microscopic level and with basic histological techniques. In embryology, students receive knowledge about prenatal development of the human beings in the early phases of embryogenesis (1st - 3rd prenatal week).

Jedná se dva základní morfologické předměty. Výuka histologie zahrnuje cytologii a základy stavby normálních tkání a orgánů lidského těla (na úrovni světelné a elektronové mikroskopie). Důraz je kladen na morfologii buněčných elementů i charakteristických složek extracelulární matrix. V praktických cvičeních se studenti obeznámí se základy diferenciální diagnostiky pro identifikaci lidských tkání na úrovni optického mikroskopu a se základy histologických technik. V rámci výuky Embryologie I jsou posluchači obeznámeni s procesy v časné embryogenezi (1.-3. týden prenatálního vývoje).
Requirements to the exam

Credit:
Participation in all practical classes and passing of all tests is essential for obtaining credits in both semesters. The arithmetic mean of all received marks in each semester must not be worse than 3.0 - with particular stress on results of oral examination from preparations during seminary practical classes (the result of this examination must be always "passed").
Each absence in laboratory classes has to be apologized in written (by a physician, a passport officer etc.). Only one excused absence will be accepted in each semester. An unexcused absence is evaluated by mark "4". This absence can be compensated by a written essay on the missed topic (min. 3 handwritten pages, size A4) which must be handed to the assistant responsible for practical classes within 1 week after your return to school. If the number of unexcused absences exceeds 2 in one semester (even the former were compensated by essays) the student has to pass the credit examination. A larger number of unexcused absences is a reason for exclusion from the study (conditions for obtaining the credit are not fulfilled)!
Students also have to pass the electronic Test in Histological Techniques (in WS) and Tests in Embryology I and II (in SS) - results of these tests are only "passed" or "failed". For each of these tests you have a second attempt in case you fail in the first attempt; if you fail also in a second attempt you will be tested orally of the given theme during the credit examination.
To obtain credit in each semester, the student can be examined only twice! The 3rd chance will be provided exceptionally to students only on basis of their good studying results and knowledge. Only students, who obtain credits for both winter and summer semesters will be allowed to take part in the final examination. (Everybody must register himself/herself for final examination - even those students, who have not passed the credit examination yet).
