At the end of the course the student should be able to: • integrate the knowledge acquired on cell types and tissues (see Histo I, SBIO B231) at the organ level within the different systems (digestive, circulatory, immune, respiratory, and excretor ) • master the vocabulary specific to histology
The objectives of the course are • to understand structure-function relationships not only at the scale of the cell, extracellular matrix and tissues, but at the scale of organs and systems • to contextualise and integrate the essential cell types and tissues seen in the Histo I course, in the organs and systems, by remaining focused on the structure-function links and by relying on the complementarity between the theoretical course and the multimedia tools made available
After describing the basic cell types and tissues in Histo I (SBIO B231: blood cells and tissues, epithelial cells and tissues, connective cells and tissues, nervous cells and tissues), they will be integrated at the level of organs and systems, with a particular focus on the link between structure and function in connection with the content of Histo I (SBIO B231): circulatory system, nervous system, immune system, digestive system, respiratory system, and urinary system
The theoretical examination is oral. There is no practical examination. The student has 45-60 minutes to prepare answers to the questions. The student is strongly encouraged to use this preparation time to illustrate the answers with relevant diagrams. During the oral examination, the student is continuously questioned and assessed on his/her ability to go through the course. The student should be able to : • to establish links between structure and function of each (sub)cellular or tissue structure, but also at the level of organs and systems • compare different structures, identify and explain similarities as well as key differences • define a series of keywords and select the most relevant information for each keyword
