This course is primarily designed to provide an understanding of human histology and of the techniques used in its study. The goal of the course is for students to understand the structure and functions of the cell, and the components and functions of organ systems. The course will also teach students to recognize human tissues at the light microscope level. Lectures will be used to illustrate basic principles, and the ability to recognize tissues and organ systems will be acquired in the laboratory. Students will be expected to acquire a foundational knowledge of the subject both from a theoretical and practical level. Restricted to Medical Laboratory Science students or consent of department.
