Content of Learning Activity

Comparative histology involves the study of cells and tissue structures in the vertebrate body. It covers the normal histological appearance of organs and tissues in a wide range of vertebrates (agnathans, chondrichthyes, osteichthyes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). The course is illustrated by practical works in light microscopy.
The course is given entirely in French.
