Course content
"Histophysiology of the endocrine system" is a selective discipline that deepens knowledge of the peculiarities of the structure of endocrine glands, the cells that form them, the functions of the hormones produced by the glands and their effect on the human body. Some aspects of the functioning of tissues and organs at different stages of ontogenesis, as well as the influence of various factors on this process. Knowledge and skills acquired during the study of the discipline "Histophysiology of the endocrine system" are the basis for understanding the pathogenesis of diseases of the endocrine organs, approaches to diagnosing disorders of their functioning.
