Embryology and Histology

Basic knowledge of Biology.

– Use of multimedia resources for expositive and interactive lectures.
– Observation of histological slides or their image for familiarization with the different histological types.
– Possibility of study visits to routine or research laboratories for contact with different equipment/microscopes used in histological study or with the different techniques used in human differentiation and development.
– Indication of a list of recommended bibliography for the discipline at the beginning of the academic year.
– Availability of attendance at the Institution at a time set every semester, or to be arranged with the student.

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.
