| Course contents : | The course of general histology of domestic animals aims at describing the various healthy tissues of the animal organism. When a tissue predominates in an organ, it is responsible for its main function. The organs are integrated in systems ensuring the great functions of the organism. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Course objective : | Theoretic courses:
The objective of the theoretic course is to teach the students the morphological and functional features of the different tissues of the organism. Starting from a pure descriptive approach the student will have to be able to establish a relationship between the examined morphology and the function of the cell or the tissue being studied. The main tissues we will study are: - The epithelial tissues - The connective tissues - The muscle tissues - The nervous tissues This course is an indispensable knowledge before studying the organs. The students will move on to this subject in their third year in the course of special Histology of domestic animals. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Prerequisites : | Cytology notions | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Workshops : | During the practical course sessions, histological preparations of the different tissues are put at the studentsÂ’ disposal so that they can examine the cellular morphology, the way the cells are organized to form tissues, the localization of these different tissues and their interrelations whatever may be the histological colour. Practical sessionÂ’s progress: - The session starts with a presentation of the objectives the students must reach at the end of the session. - Then the students work on their own on the basis of the practical work syllabus as well as the other didactic aids at their disposal (histology books, CD-ROMs of histological illustrations installed on the computers in the practical work room). If necessary they can ask assistant lecturers or graduate assistants for help to carry out their processes. - At the end of the session, power point presentations are projected so that the students can visualize the main structures to be identified and enabling them to synthesize the structures they had to recognize. These slides will also allow them to evaluate themselves. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Written notes : | A syllabus of the theoretic course and a textbook for the practical work are available at the "Office des cours". A histology atlas on CD-Rom realized on the basis of the preparations analyzed throughout the year is also available at the same office. This atlas can be easily installed on the students' personal computer or on the computers of the multimedia room.

| Assessment : | During the school year, the students will have to fill in "True or false"questionnaires from the preceding years which will be available on the net. These compulsory exercises will enable them to get familiar with the questions of the written exam of the end of the school year. The only purpose is to allow the students to evaluate their method of working and to know the requirement level they will have to reach. These exercises will never be marked in any way. Three written and marked tests (open questions) will also be proposed to the students during the school year. They will be worth 10% of the final mark. The theoretical exam is a written exam including a "True or false"questionnaire with full justification of the "false"answers as well as four open questions. It will be worth 50% of the final mark. The practical work exam is an oral exam. The student will have to recognize cells or tissues on histological preparations which may or may not have been examined during the school year. He/She will not be asked to recognize any organ. The student will nevertheless have to be able to establish a connection between his/her practical and theoretical knowledge. Being only able to recognize a tissue is not satisfactory enough to pass. The student will have to prove that he/she can deal with his/her subject with sense and structure. The practical work exam is worth 40% of the final mark. | ||||||||
