Lab Skills MLS: Human Anatomy & Histology

Volledige vakbeschrijving

The aim of this skills training is to familiarize students with skills and knowledge concerning human anatomy and histology. The histology part entails a practical introduction to virtual microscopy, followed by microscopic studies of the histology of veins and cell types where the computer serves as microscope. Each “virtual microscopy” session start with a short 15-min lecture introducing the topic. During the sessions, students use a handbook (Powerpoint file) with tasks and questions. At the end they of each session students have produced their own booklet complete with annotated histology pictures. The macroscopy part of the course entails an introduction to the autopsy room. Students perform observatory studies on corpses, models and human plastinates guided by a list of tasks and questions, part of which needs to be studied in advance at home.
