Course Description:
This course is an introduction to histology. Its aim is to examine the general principles by which human tissues are organized and to be able to identify the basic tissue types and describe their function. The laboratory will reinforce the lecture, and allow time to explore histology in more depth while giving the student the opportunity to microscopically explore all of the tissues of the body.
