Course Aim: Students will develop knowledge of cell anatomy that will underpin other studies and assist in
their professional health care practice.
Course description:
Cytology is a course that includes both cell anatomy and cell function; in this course we
will focus on the anatomy the structure of the cell. And the functional part of the cell will
be addressed in a different course (cell physiology)
Learning outcomes:
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
Define a cell, identify the main common components of human cells, and
differentiate between intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid
Describe the structure and functions of the plasma (cell) membrane
Describe the nucleus and its function
Identify the structure and function of cytoplasmic organelles
Learning activities:
Lectures and discussions, demonstration using diagrams and images. Assignments
