| Study course description | |||||||||
| Preliminary Knowledge: | All biology subjects ar Secondary school level; Cytology, which is advisable to be studied simultaneously with biochemistry, anatomy and physiology. | ||||||||
| Objective: | Gain comprehensive knowledge of human body structure, organ topography and functions. To form an understanding of the interrelationships of organ systems, of the general and functional histology of man; microscopic structure of cells, tissues and organs, especially speech and hearing structures; to create an idea of risk factors and various developmental disorders that affect the development of these structures in embryogenesis. | ||||||||
