Learning Outcomes of UE
The major aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the vertebrate body plan at tissue and organ levels. These structures are described for the major groups of vertebrates
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
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.
