Course content
The task of analytical and quantitative morphology is, therefore, the development and application of methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis of various structures of living organisms (cells, subcellular structures, tissues, organs, etc.) used in biological morphometric studies, as well as - patterns of morphometric changes parameters in different morpho-functional states of the living system under different conditions in normal and pathology. Among the studied methods are planimetric and stereometric methods, including work with computer morphometric programs, methods of three-dimensional reconstruction and confocal microscopy, image analysis, as well as features of statistical analysis of morphometric studies.
