Course Descriptions

Histology & Embryology is composed of both histology and embryology that are independent subjects but closely related to each other. Histology focuses on the study of micro- and ultra-structure of human body observed under light and electron microscope, and also on their relevant physiological functions. Embryology concentrates in the study of embryonic developmental process and relevant mechanisms by which birth defects occur. Therefore, the objectives of this curriculum is firstly to understand both micro- and ultra-structure of various kinds of cells and tissues in human body and their relevant physiological functions, and secondly to understand the early developmental process in human embryos and formation of main organs, as well as their developmental regulations. Thus this curriculum provides a solid basis for the pursuit of other basic medical curriculums (e.g., physiology and pathology) and clinical medical curriculums (e.g., internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics & gynaecology, and pediatrics).

Course Formats

It is small teaching course, with the combination of theoretical and practical contents. The practical course includes the observation of tissue sections under light microscope and following drawing of what you observed, and also supplements with the active response to raised questions, teamwork for the topic discussion and real-time quiz. The score grade of this curriculum is accordingly identified with both formative records of each practical course and the score of theoretical paper examination.

 

 

 

组织胚胎学

 

课程代码MED130206

学分4

周学时理论 2, 实验 4

课程简介

组织胚胎学包括组织学和胚胎学两门既有联系又相互独立的科学。其中组织学是研究机体微细结构及其功能的科学;胚胎学则是研究个体发生及其机制的科学,主要探讨一个受精卵如何发育成一个新个体的过程,尤其专注于先天畸形的形成原因及过程。本课程的教学目的是使学生掌握人体各种细胞、组织及主要器官的微细结构及其相应功能;掌握人体胚胎的早期发生和主要器官的发生、发展规律。从而为学习其它基础医学课程(如生理、病理)与临床医学课程(如内科、外科、妇产科、儿科)奠定扎实基础。

授课方式

小班教学。理论课与实验课相结合,实验课教学以学生在光学显微镜下观察组织切片、完成绘图作业为主,并结合课堂互动、小组讨论、小测验等辅助形式。本课程的考核形式是形成式平时成绩与期末理论闭卷笔试相结合。
