of cells, tissues and organs. Students will also gain skills at gross tissue description,
tissue preservation, cutting and staining techniques
Learning Outcomes

level and the mechanisms by which cells adapt to an altered extracellular environment;
- compare and contrast cellular changes and responses to a range of pathological conditions
such as necrosis, inflammation, repair, haemostasis, genetic disorders and neoplasia;
- explain in general terms the procedures routinely used in diagnostic pathology;
- critically evaluate the quality of pathological specimens.
