Histology
X123 (3 semester units in Molecular and Cell Biology)
The study of histology focuses on understanding the microanatomy of the human body. This course emphasizes the characteristics of the basic tissue types that form organ systems, the ways tissues combine to form organs, and the ways tissues work together to perform the functions of each system. Special attention is placed on the microstructure of cells and organelles that are representative of different tissues and organs. Microscopy, microtechnique, and histological stains are also studied. This course is intended for pre-health professional students and others interested in the human body at the microscopic level. Topics studied are especially relevant for students who have completed courses in general human anatomy and human physiology.
Prerequisite: A college-level course in biology.
