The objectives of these lectures are to descibe cytological and histological characteristics of tissues and to establish relations with their function.
Prerequisites :
  • general biology
  • general biochemistry
  • general physiology
  • notions of anatomy
Workshops : The objectives of practical lessons are to develop notions studied during theoretic lectures. They consist in demonstrations during which microscopic slides are analysed, figures are presented and annotated. Students can also oserve microscopic slides. Practical lessons take place in the rooms of practical lessons at the Institut d'Anatomie, rue de Pitteurs, 20, 4020 Liège.
