ODS 7611 Histology and Pathology 1.0 Credit
The course is separated into two components. The Histology course will introduce the microscopic structure of cells and tissues. It begins with a discussion of stem cells, followed by an overview of the differentiation of cells and their organization into tissues. The structure and function of the basic tissue types will be presented, including epithelium, connective tissue, muscle and nerve tissue. Emphasis is placed on normal structure (histology of cells, extracellular components and tissues) as a basis for understanding normal physiological and biochemical functions. Examples of the structure-function relationship will be applied in discussions of anatomical components of the eye.
