Biology 302: Histology, Spring 2014 Instructor: Dr. Ed Devlin, ext 6173, edevlin@hsc.edu Office Hours: Gilmer 107, MWF 8:30 – 9:30, Plus arranged Website: http://people.hsc.edu/faculty-staff/edevlin/edsweb01/courses/Histology/histology.htm Course Objectives Histology is more than just the microscopic study of tissue. Rather a good histology course is also designed to put much of the information you have accumulated about vertebrate structure and function into perspective. It involves such diverse fields as embryology, cell biology, anatomy and physiology to explain the relationship of the individual tissues to the functioning of the body as a whole. I think you will find it a fascinating journey through the workings of the vertebrate body. Text Netters Essential Histology, Ovalle and Nahirney, 2008, Saunders/Elsevier. This is a great text and is essential for the course as it functions as both a text and an atlas. There are two basic formats of histology texts that are used today. The first is a very thick encyclopedic format text, the other is a much shorter, precise text. Our text is one of the very readable short texts which combines an atlas with the text. I will provide lab manual to guide us through the weekly labs. Grading Four lecture exams 48% Three lab practicals 24% Prepared slides 8% Cumulative final 20% 100%
