BIO 3372 Histology 3.0 Credits
This course is designed to give students an understanding of the established fundamentals and principles of histology. Histology lies at the interface between cell biology and physiology. Students will examine how cells work together as tissues and organs to create a functional pump (the heart), filters (the kidneys), and bellows (the lungs). Focus will be on the structural details of select systems, and the recurring patterns that emerge in tissue construction. These patterns reflect regional variations in the functional role of assembled tissue; studying these principles offers us a view of how small differences in cell number, type, and interaction can lead to the wide variety of tissue/organ properties.
