Cytology – Microscopic and submicroscopic organization of cells and tissues of the human body; their interactions and morpho-functional correlations. The cell: shape, size and cellular differences, chemical composition. Permeability and active Transport. Membrane potential. Intercellular junctions. Cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Somatic and germinal cells.
Histology - Embryonic derivation, structure, classification, functions and locations of the following tissues: epithelial tissues, connective tissues, muscle tissues, nervous tissues. Exocrine glandular epithelium. Endocrine glands and their function. Transformed epithelials: the Crystalline. The connective tissues, cartilage, bone, adipose tissue; blood. Myeloid and lymphoid haematopoiesis; Lymphoid tissue and immunity (generality); Muscle tissue: smooth, skeletal and cardiac; Nervous tissue: the neuron and its structure; Retina Structure.
