Course content
This course is based on basic disease theory and what kind of changes takes place in affected/diseased cells and tissues. Knowledge related to laboratory techniques to detect changes and sickness.
Basic techniques of cell and tissue preparation for light microscopy: general color theory, theory and practical histological coloring, cutting and microscopy of cytology slides.
Learning outcome
Knowledge - the students:
- Are able to acquire knowledge about the normal processes and processes of the body that reflect disease in the body's organs.
- Are able to describe the bioengineer's core competence, responsibilities and tasks under the conditions of the pathology laboratory.
- Are able to explain methods, laboratory equipment and tasks that refer to bioengineering in histology, cytology and immunohistochemistry/molecular pathology
- Are able to describe how the analytical, pre- and post-analytical conditions that can influence analytical responses, as well as explain key definitions and apply professional terminology
- Are able to explain the process for the sample through the laboratory from requisitioning the sample until the test results are ready.
