Cytology and Histology

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Citology and Histology study cells and tissues of the body, using microscopes, in order to understand the constitution of the organs. In the pratical classes microscopes will be used to observe the different tissues.
• ProgramaProgramme

  Histological technique and cytological technique: Main fixation methods of tissues and cells, tissue processing and main stains. Microscope: the microscope as the main instrument to study cells and tissues. Differences between various types of microscopes and their applications. Animal cell: recognition of the cell morphology and its components. Epithelial tissue: lining and glandular tissue. Connective tissue: connective tissue cells and extracellular matrix. Connective tissue proper, adipose tissue, bone, cartilage, and blood. Muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Circulatory system: generalities. Heart. Nervous tissue: cells of the nervous tissue. Nervous system: generalities. CNS and PNS. Digestive apparatus: generalities. Esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. Liver and Pancreas. Respiratory apparatus: generalities. Trachea and lung. Skin. Urogenital apparatus: generalities. Kidney, bladder, ovaries, uterus, and testes.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  Over the course of this curricular unit, it is intended that students acquire the knowledge that allows them to: 1. Know the technique for collecting and preparing cytological samples. 2. Know the procedures for collecting, storing and sending histological samples to the laboratory. 3. Understand the methodology used in the preparation of cells and tissues to be studied by light microscopy and electron microscopy. 4. Know the different types of microscopes and their applications. 5. Know how to properly handle a light microscope, including the use of immersion objectives. 6. Know the structure and ultrastructure of cells and tissues of animals, with veterinary interest. 7. Know how to relate the different types of tissues in order to be able to identify the organs. 8. Establish a relationship between the morphology and function of the body's cells, tissues, and organs.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Active learning/problem-based learning activities, quizzes, and group dynamics are implemented in order to stimulate students' enthusiasm for the subject and their involvement in classes. These approaches, in addition to involving students in their learning, also help in the application and consolidation of knowledge and syllabus content, and the classroom environment is more engaging and productive. Formative assessments are used to support teaching and learning in the classroom. The feedback facilitated by formative assessments enables teachers to adapt their instruction to the needs of students, taking into account their individual characteristics, difficulties, and gaps, and provide feedback to students; students can use such feedback to self-regulate their study and steer their own learning processes directly. Some of the digital tools used are mentimeter, socrative, and kahoot.
