Histology is the study of cell and tissue structure at the microscopic level.
In this course we will study cellular structure in the context of cellular function. We will take the generalized concepts learned in cell biology and see how they apply to specialized structures and functions in various tissues and organs in the human body. A study of histology would not be complete without microscopic examination of material on slides. The general plan for this course will be to discuss a unit in the text during one class, and then the next class meeting will be spent looking at prepared slides pertaining to the lecture material. You will need to make drawings of the sections that you study.
