External form

1. Successful completion of the courses "General Cytology", "General Histology". 2. Be able to independently apply knowledge of cytology, histology and other disciplines, perform laboratory and practical work, work with scientific and methodological literature. 3. Possess basic skills in working with materials and equipment used in cytological, histological and morphometric laboratories.

Histological research methods are used to study the structure and function of cells and tissues of humans, animals and plant organisms both in normal and pathological conditions and in scientific experiments. Morphometric analysis is the process of obtaining quantitative and/or qualitative information from cytological, histological and macroscopic preparations. The task of analytical and quantitative morphology is to develop and apply methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of various structures of a living organism (cells, subcellular structures, tissues, organs, etc.) used in biological morphometric studies, as well as the patterns of changes in morphometric parameters in various morpho-functional states of a living system under different conditions in normal and pathological conditions. Among the methods studied are planimetric and stereometric methods, including work with computer morphometric programs, methods of three-dimensional reconstruction and confocal microscopy, image analysis, and also features of statistical analysis of the results of morphometric studies.
