200241210 HISTOLOGY ( 2 Crd.Hrs )

Histology is a discipline which examines the structure and correlating functions of tissues and cells using light microscopy, electron microscopy and other specialized microscopic methods. This course will involve a study of general tissue characteristics and will explore histologically and ultrastructurally the different tissue types in the body including: epithelial, connective, skeletal, muscular, neurological tissues as well as some organ systems including cardiovascular, blood, lymphoid and integumentary (skin) tissues. While the course’s emphasis will be a study of the appearance of normal cells and tissues, selected abnormal/diseased tissues will be examined as well (e.g., bone osteoporosis) and functional correlations will be made.
