Principles of Histology [ANAT 2008]

Learning Goals & Outcomes

LEARNING GOALS:

This Unit of Study examines the structure of human cells, tissues and organ systems at the light and electron microscopic levels. The way the body is constructed from the cellular to the organ levels and how different tissue types contribute and interact in the body are key themes of the course. Gaining an understanding of these themes is the major learning goal. Instruction also includes an introduction to the practical applications of histology and the techniques involved.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

By the end of this unit the students will have:

a thorough understanding of the structure of a range of human cells, tissues and organ systems.
a firm basis of knowledge for further in-depth study in human biology.
gained an understanding of the application of histology and specific techniques in current research.
