19	Objective of the Course:	To provide an understanding on the histological structure and the embryonic development processes of the organs of the female and male reproductive system.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	Course will contribute to the student's academic development since he/she will work with cells and tissues belonging to female and male reproductive organs.

Learning Outcomes:

1	To comprehend the histological basis of the genital systems.;
2	To be able to identify the tissue components of the systems.;
3	To be able to distinguish and interpret the differences in histological structure between the systems.;
4	To define the anatomical localizations of the female and male reproductive organs.;
5	To be able to prepare histological slides of the organs and comprehend the microscopic properties.;
6	To be able to define the differentiation mechanisms of the female and male reproductive organs during the embryonic stages.;
7	To comprehend the embryonic developmental stages of the reproductive organs.;
