Introduction
This unit will introduce you to the fundamental theoretical and practical concepts and principles of histology. The unit provides you with an in-depth study of histological methodologies including fixation, decalcification, processing and section cutting of normal tissues and techniques to stain specific structures. The normal structure of biological tissues and organs at the microscopic level is studied. You will develop microscopy skills in the practicals to allow critical analysis of prepared sections and thus define normal structure of tissues and organs.
The unit also gives you the opportunity to develop and practice your communication skills in written, diagrammatic and oral contexts, face to face and on-line.
