Mikroarchitecture of Selected Tissues and Organs
1655-Lek21ZF08-J
The optional classes are aimed at improving the principles of proper microscopic observation and correct image interpretation. They are aimed at students who want to expand their knowledge of the histology of tissues and organs. Completing the series of meetings will be an excellent supplement to histological knowledge, which will be valuable in higher years of medical studies, e.g. in the subject of pathomorphology.
