Master the fundamentals of human tissue structure, development, and organization through a comprehensive course covering both histology and embryology. Explore detailed studies of various tissue types including epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues, followed by in-depth examination of major organ systems such as circulatory, immune, endocrine, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Gain practical experience through experimental work accompanying each major topic, while developing a strong foundation in general embryology, from germ cell formation and fertilization through fetal development and placentation. Each chapter includes hands-on experiments, chapter tests, and discussion sections to reinforce learning, culminating in a final examination to assess overall comprehension of human microscopic anatomy and developmental biology.
