In Histology, students study the structure of the cell and the distinguishing morphologic characteristics of the four types of tissues: epithelium, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Students will learn how these four basic tissues are combined to form organs. This portion of the course focuses on the normal microscopic features of the lymph, circulatory, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. In the Embryology component of the course, students learn the general pattern and principles of normal development and the basic aspects of development of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, and gastrointestinal systems. This course uses a lecture-based format. Examinations include both written and image-based practical questions.
