Learning unit contents

1. The epithelial tissues 2. The glandular epithelia 3. The connective tissues and the cartilage 3. Bone tissue 4. Muscles 5. The nervous tissuse and Blood

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This course will be devoted to the study of the functional organization of different animal tissues.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Practical works concretely illustrate important aspects of the course. The sessions of practical works will give the first quadrimester in the Great Hall of practical work of the Institute of Zoology (building I1, 22, quai Van Beneden, Liege).

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The tissue biology lectures are given in the first quadrimester, on monday from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, in the Great Hall of practical work (1st floor) of the Institute of Zoology (Bldg. I1, quai Van Beneden 22 in Liege). Each theoretical course is followed in the same room with a session of practical work (10:30 to 13:00), where students examine different histological preparations illustrating the course.

Recommended or required readings

Notes and a guide of practical works are available to students at the beginning of the academic year.
Reference book:
Histologie générale: exercices et méthodes (éditeur: DUNOD) Thiry et al. 2019

An examination in the form of a oral test will be focused on any matter (theory and practice).

Work placement(s)

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

The practical works constitute substantial assistance in the acquisition of knowledge, in the acquisition of a critical spirit and in the development of a sense of observation. To be profitable, assistance to practical works involves the previous study of the corresponding matter (at least a thorough reading). The presence in the practical works is mandatory. Any absence for medical reasons must be justified by a certificate. In case of repeated unjustified absences, the student will be denied access to the examination of cell biology.
