Human Medical Embryology Histology department

The discipline "Human Medical Embryology" involves the study: • morphological, functional and biochemical changes in the process of early human embryogenesis • the influence of external and internal environment on the process of embryogenesis • functioning of the system "mother-placenta - fetus“ • patterns and mechanisms of human embryological transformations, the development of organs and systems of normal human organs in health and disease • modern embryological technologies

The main tasks of the discipline "Human Medical Embryology": • formation and development of knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for effective use of data of modern embryology in the field of health care; • interpretation of the laws of human embryonic development and regulation of morphogenesis • forming an idea of the basic morphological, physiological, biochemical, molecular processes occurring at different stages of human embryonic development; • deepening the knowledge of possible ways to regulate embryogenesis;

The main tasks of the discipline "Human Medical Embryology": • determination of critical periods of human embryogenesis • creating a basis for the student's further study of clinical disciplines: medical genetics, obstetrics, gynecology and pediatrics, and can be recommended for students of 3 -6 courses (specialties "general medicine" and "pediatrics") • formation of an understanding of modern fundamental scientific and applied aspects of researches of the embryological transformations features, and the development of clinical thinking for the future professional activities

Structure of the course (Modules of discipline) General embryology. Sources of the development of human tissues in health and disease Medical embryology and modern embryological technologies

Module 1. General embryology. Sources of development of human tissues in health and disease Goals: • Define the tasks of general embryology in the structure of key modern medical disciplines • To master the basic concepts of general embryology and sources of tissue development in health and disease • Interpret the laws of human embryogenesis • To form an idea of the influence of lifestyle on the condition of sex cells, pay special attention to the influence of bad habits. • To develop a sense of responsibility for the timeliness and correctness of professional actions in the interpretation of histological data of biopsy material at different stages of fetal development and medical care.

Module 2. Medical embryology and modern embryological technologies Goals: • Know the patterns of changes in human embryogenesis depending on environmental conditions; • Identify critical periods of embryogenesis • Analyze the causes of abnormalities in embryonic development; • Be able to use methods of obtaining and research of embryonic material and apply them in specific professional situations • Highlight the controversial ethical aspects of modern reproductive technologies

Workshop plan 1. Human embryology (early embryogenesis). Features of human embryonic development. 2. Basic patterns of tissue development (general embryology). 3. Histophysiology of the fetus: the development of tissues and organ systems.

Workshop plan 4. Congenital malformations of various organ systems and their classification. Causes of congenital malformations. Hereditary defects. Exogenous defects under the influence of teratogenic factors: alcohol, infectious agents, drugs, hormones, ionizing radiation, mechanical exposure, antibodies, nutrition, age. Multifactorial defects. Gametopathy, blastopathy, embryopathy, phenopathy. 5. Modern trends in reproductive medicine (IVF - in vitro fertilization, ICSI) 6. Final module control
