BIOL 437Histology
This course develops a visual, conceptual, and functional understanding of histology, the microanatomy of body cells, tissues, and organs. The lecture portion of this course will use diagrams, digital images, and didactic explanations to build a conceptual understanding of histology, stressing form, function, and clinical applications. The laboratory portion of the course emphasizes form, identification, and naming of cells, tissues, and organs at a microscopic level. As such, the lab will use microscopes and digital images to investigate actual histology slides of body tissue, with the goal of visual identification, classification, and naming of body tissues.
