The aim of the Embryology for dentistry students 2 subject is to learn about the formation of different organs and organ systems and further development in the embryo and fetus. Knowing about normal human development is essential for comprehension of the normal anatomical situation and explains many of the developmental malformations. During the semester you will get acquainted with the later development of the embryo. This is the second part of a two-semester subject.
The exam is oral or written (multimedia test) on the last week of the
semester, depending ont he number of registered students.
During the exam - besides your topic - you will get short general questions from the material of the semester. If you cannot answer your embryology topic, the examiner will decide based on the general embryology knowledge whether your knowledge is satisfactory or not.
