Welcome to the web guide for the Human Structure histology laboratory
sessions. The laboratory modules were designed to help
students achieve two principal course objectives:
- Describe how cells divide, differentiate, and control
their shapes and activities to produce basic tissue
types, and explain how their microscopic characteristics
produce the functions of these tissues and their
specialized subtypes.
- Identify the histology
and microscopic morphology of tissues and organs through
the use of light and electron microscopy and discuss the
functional aspects of the identified tissues.
A strong foundation in normal
cell and tissue biology establishes the basis for the study
of pathology in the Understanding Diseases of Systems (UDOS)
courses.
 Some
of the virtual slides have an accompanying narrated screen
capture detailing the salient features of the tissue. A
small microphone icon identifies these slides.
