The requirement for successful graduation of this subject is to obtain a credit and pass the final exam.The credit will be obtained after 100% attendances at practice and after successful identifiaction and description of chosen microscopical and macroscopical slides. The absences have to be compensated. Necropsy will be compensated by necropsy with other groups. The absence of histological training will be compensated by drawing of histological pictures and examination of texts from practical manuscript

The student will obtain knowledge about the causes and mechanisms of pathological lesions, which are included in special pathology. He will be familiar with necropsy procedures. Students will take necropsies of mammals and poultry as well. The student will be able to identify the morphological and histological changes observed in different organs systems.

Pathology of respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, hepatobiliary system, hemopoetic system, urinary and reproductive systems, nervous system, skin and mammary gland.
