Course Description

This course introduces the basis of histological features of cells and tissues. Students will be able to know the cell with all its elements, comprehend cell dynamics and learn to distinguish the tissue types formed by cells and their histological features. They also learn to interpret clinical problems more accurately and easily, and will easily adapt to clinical terminology. In addition, students will be able to recognize pathological changes by understanding the normal histological structure of the tissue and understand the importance of the cell and its dynamics in developing new treatment methods. Finally, in this course, students will be able to understand the histological features of tissues and benefit from these features in clinical applications.
