Learning outcomes
PR2. Use libraries, information databases, Internet resources to search for the necessary information. PR6. Analyze biological phenomena and processes at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population-species and biosphere levels in terms of basic general scientific knowledge, as well as using special modern research methods. PR7. Describe and analyze the principles of structural and functional organization, mechanisms of regulation and adaptation of organisms to the influence of various factors PR11. To carry out statistical processing, analysis and generalization of the received experimental data with use of software and modern information technologies. PR 19. Solve scientific-theoretical, research and applied problems of biology by appropriate methods. PR 37. Be able to use modern methods of cytological and histological analysis to determine the physiological status of cells and / or tissues in normal and pathology, at different stages of ontogenesis and histogenesis.
Form of study
External form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the histogenesis and submicroscopic structure of the elements of the glandular epithelium, anatomy, basics of biochemistry and physiology of endocrine organs. 2. Be able to use microscopic instruments to distinguish between different types of glandular cells of the endocrine system at the cyto- and histological level. 3. To have basic skills of making histological preparation of endocrine organs and the ability to work with a light microscope.
Course content
The learning process compares the main stages of the evolution of the neurosecretory system in invertebrates and vertebrates. Cytoarchitectonics of mammalian and human hypothalamus with characteristics of neurosecretory nuclei, hypothalamic tracts, medial elevation and pituitary gland, features of the structure of the portal circulatory system between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are analyzed in detail. The histostructure of endocrine glands and the reasons for the development of the most common pathologies, features of morpho- and pathogenesis of endocrine glands and their consequences for the hormonal status of the organism are studied. Pierce's concept of the APUD system on the example of the characteristics of gastrointestinal endocrinocytes is considered.
