Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning of Histology I (General Histology) is based on the exposure in classroom classes of the theoretical knowledge that will be necessary for the descriptions of microphotographies that the students will carry out in the seminars and to recognize, in the practical sessions, the various types of tissues and the various elements (cells or extracellular material) that integrate them and the organization of the skin.

The students have a website (wzar.unizar.es/acad/histologia) in which they can find an "Atlas of Histology" formed by a collection of microphotographs taken from the histological preparations that can be studied in the practice room and some hyperlinks to other websites.

In addition, students can find in the ADD:

The program of theoretical and practical classes

The calendar of theoretical classes, seminars and practices

Teaching materials of each of the subjects

The recommended bibliography

The students will have an interactive DVD designed by the teachers who teach the subject in Zaragoza so that they can study the same histological preparations that they have access to in the microscope room (CONTAMINA, P., P. PARRA Y M . ROJO GARCÍA, Histology Atlas. virtual histological preparations. Ed. Presses University of Zaragoza, 1st ed., interactive DVD, 2013). In the seminars, the students will present and discuss with each other and with the teachers the doubts that have arisen from the study of this material.

The students of Huesca have a website designed by the teacher who teaches in Huesca (http://es.groups.yahoo.com/group/histologiahuesca/).

5.2. Learning tasks

The program offered to the student to help achieve the expected results includes the following activities ...

1. MAGISTRAL CLASSES

In the lectures will be taught theoretical content of the subject counting on the students have previously studied the subject, taking as a reference the information obtained on the website.

2. PRACTICAL CLASSES

The practical classes will be taught in the microscope room and the students will handle the optical microscope and study the histological samples that will have at their disposal.

3. SEMINARS

The seminars will consist of the presentation by a group of students of microphotographs of histological preparations of the subjects already studied. These microphotographs will include images obtained from the referred website and the interactive DVD in which the students have digitized the practice preparations.

4. TUTORED WORKS

Throughout the course the students will prepare a video or presentation with images containing different subjects of the subject.

These works will form a "virtual atlas" consisting of images in which the fundamental elements (cell types, extracellular material ...) of the various tissues studied in the course will be identified and labeled.
