In the process of implementing the planned activities for conducting lectures to students and teaching staff on the male and female reproductive system, hematopoiesis and immunological protection and the cardiovascular system, the lecturer used a number of new methods of communicating information and conducted feedback on an ongoing basis. Such techniques as: question-answer, test tasks and situational tasks in the form of micro-preparations, etc. helped students to better understand the histological material and differentiate them by organs and body systems.
