Embryology and Histology

With this course the student will acquire and apply skills in order to integrate knowledge with other areas of the
biological sciences such as physiology or genetics.
The student should gain knowledge of the different stages of embryonic development; the fate of germ layers and
differentiation of various structures; the morphology and function of the different tissues types and systems
comprising the human body. This course aims to give the student the skills to recognize and apply concepts and
principles of general embryology and histology and also of audiovestibular histology and embryology.
