3. Nerve and muscle tissues – general structure, neurons, synapses, neuroglia, myelination, types of muscle tissue, mechanism of muscle contraction

4. Blood, hemopoiesis, basic microscopic anatomy - blood elements and their development, microscopic structure of basic organs of the human body

5. Sense organs and structure of eye – classification of sense organs, microscopic structure of eye, layers of eyeball, refractory and accessory structures of eye

6. Fundamentals of embryology, eye development – periods of prenatal development, fertilization, blastogenesis, development of bilaminar and trilaminar germ disc, development of basic organ systems, development of eye.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Histology – introduction and basic laboratory techniques. Cytology – cell in the light and electron microscopes.

2. Epithelial and connective tissues - study of slides and electron micrographs.

3. Nerve and muscle tissues - study of slides and electron micrographs.

4. Blood – study of peripheral blood smears. Basics of microscopic anatomy I - study of selected slides of basic organs.

5. Basics of microscopic anatomy II - study of selected slides of basic organs. Eye - practical demonstration of histological structure.
