Histology.

Catalog description

A study of the tissues which comprise the organs of the human body. Thin sections of organs are examined, and their structures related to function. Emphasis is placed on learning how cells and tissues which have been treated with different colored stains appear under light microscopy, interpreting how those stains reflect the chemical makeup of the cells, and recognizing when preparative artifacts distort the appearance of the normal tissue. Credit will not be given if a student has taken BIOL 129. Prerequisites: BIOL 051 and BIOL 061 .
