The Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology was established in 1930.
Head of the department:
Professor Grigory Mikhailovich Semyonov -1930-1937
Professor Averburg Vsiyamin Vasilevich -1938-1946
Professor Rakhmatulin Zikrullo Khairulinovich -1947-1971
Associate Professor, Ph.D. Tilyaev Abdullo Tilyaevich -1971-1973
Professor Turdiev Latif Urakovich -1974-1995
Professor Dehkanov Tashpulat Dehkanovich -1995-2011
Since 2012, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor: Oripov Firdavs Suratovich.
During this period, the department defended 7 doctoral and 26 candidate dissertations. 6 monographs, more than 120 teaching aids and recommendations, more than 900 scientific articles, more than a thousand theses have been written and published, certificates for 36 rationalization proposals have been received.
The Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology of the Samarkand State Medical Institute is located on the 2nd floor of Block B of the new building.
The main attention of the staff of the department is focused on the high-quality organization of the educational process, and for this, all conditions have been created at the department.
Lecture hall
Educational audiences
The department has educational literature, histological preparations for training, modern monocular, binocular and trinocular educational microscopes. Through the efforts of the department staff, demonstration materials of the necessary histological preparations have been prepared. Lectures, teaching aids on histology were written by our professors and teachers, and are used by students as teaching material. The department staff provided the histology section on the platform of the mt.sammi.uz system with a demonstration of educational micropreparations in the form of a practical skill, video lessons, as well as video lectures on all subjects of the subject. The Department of Histology has become one of the most advanced theoretical departments of the Institute. In addition, due to the fact that the department has moved to the new building of our institute, most of the classrooms are fully equipped with modern technology. It should be especially noted that the new building has a separate lecture hall equipped with a modern interactive electronic board.
To teach histological preparations in the discipline "Histology, cytology and embryology" for domestic and foreign students, the leadership of the Samarkand State Medical Institute, all classrooms are equipped with monocular, binocular and trinocular microscopes with video cameras. In teaching the discipline, classical three-stage practical classes and various new pedagogical techniques and technologies are used: conducting interactive classes in the form of press conferences and role-playing games, goals and objectives are set at each lesson for better assimilation of the material. Methodological materials on each topic are presented on the website mt.sammi.uz. The materials required for placement on its platform are constantly updated. For students participating in the student scientific society, studying science in depth, there is an opportunity to study histological preparations in a classroom equipped with modern equipment.
Practical training using the latest technology.
For numbering of histological preparations, a digital color camera Avicon Tex, 5 Megapixel Digital Camera-HD web camera and software Voodoo_m152_Webcam_Driver_5.8.9.0 are used. Since 2013, the department has been using a virtual learning environment implemented at our institute based on Moodle (Modular object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) to provide students with e-learning materials, organize and manage their independent work, and automated testing. To provide distance learning by the staff of the department, the mt.sammi.uz platform includes various electronic teaching materials in three languages (English, Russian, Uzbek) in accordance with all sections of histology.
The multimedia capabilities of Moodle allowed teachers to present educational material in the form of the most modern diagrams and tables, histological preparations, electronic micrographs, audio lectures, animations, videos, lecture presentations, which significantly increased the interest of students and improved their assimilation of complex educational material. They are a necessary material for extracurricular independent work of a student, especially for studying samples of a histological specimen, in the absence of a specimen and a microscope.
The use of numbered histological preparations by students in practical classes, the use of various light microscopic complexes equipped with a digital light camera and appropriate software, significantly expands the possibilities of mastering the discipline. This greatly increases the interest of students in the study of histological preparations.
Classrooms equipped with modern microscopes and a light camera for practical training.
In order to ensure the integration of the educational process, together with the departments of biology and anatomy, complex integration lectures are regularly read on various branches of science. In order to prevent duplication of the materials provided at these departments, programs of lectures and practical classes are coordinated.
For the educational process, a bank of microscopic images, videos have been created, video lessons have been organized that transmit the image of microscope preparations from a microscope to a computer and televisions.
