Histology and Cell Biology

Histology pursues an extension of topics presented in the Molecules to Cells and Human Gross Anatomy-Embryology courses. The main objective is the microscopic identification of cells, tissues, and organs in preparation for the study of normal and abnormal function in further courses on systemic function and pathology. Students are expected to master the material by acquiring concept mapping and critical analysis skills by integrating structural, molecular and functional views of cell and molecular biology and human development through clinical and pathologic examples. This approach intends to highlight the impact of cell and molecular biology in preventive medicine and disease.
