Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

In the body, cells with similar morphology and function form groups called simple tissues (ex: epithelial tissue). When several types of cells form a tissue, it is called compound tissue (ex: nervous tissue). The tissues are associated to form organs with a specific function.
In this course, we will study:

  • epithelial tissue
  • connective tissue
  • muscular tissue
  • nervous tissue
  • blood cells
Examples of tissue associations will be described in some organs (ex: the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney, the relations of hepatocytes with the blood vessels and the biliary canalicule, the skin...)

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The objectives are to establish a parallelism between the morphology and the function of cells and tissues and to understand how some groups of cells function togethet to play a specific role
