Contenuti
This module aims to provide you with practical experience of laboratory-based work and will introduce you to the analysis of tissue slides of pathological tissues. Throughout the module you will have an optical microscope available for viewing slides. The focus of the module is on guided laboratory work and the analysis of tissue slides of pathological tissues, and you will gain direct experience of slide analysis across the following topics: Intracellular and extracellular degeneration: hyalinosis, steatosis, necrosis, heart attack; Neoplastic transformation: benign tumors, malignant tumors, metastases; Inflammatory and reparative response: acute inflammation, chronic nonspecific and granulomatous inflammation: Vascular pathologies.
