A thorough knowledge of the microscopic architecture of tissues forms the basis for understanding physiological processes, the effects of disease and its treatment. This course examines the basic tissues found in mammalian organ systems, with a focus on tissue organisation and structure. Functional inter-relationships between the various tissue types is also considered, taking into account the role of various elements in the tissue hierarchy when structural integrity is compromised. The process of early mammalian development and consequences of developmental disturbances are also examined. This module forms part of the core curriculum for the MB BCh BAO degree in Medicine and the BSc in Biomedical Health & Life Science.
