COURSE DESCRIPTION - This course studies the microscopic anatomy of animal tissues and organs as elucidated by brightfield and electron microscopy and correlates these cellular interactions with function.

The laboratory encompasses a broad range of cytological and microtechnique procedures.

PREREQUISITES - Principles of Biology I and II

GOAL:  to understand the structure of mammalian tissues as the interaction of different cell types and how these cells regulate the function of organs and organ systems.
