Histology Courseware 1.0

Description: Histology Courseware 1.0 is an independent study courseware that presents instruction in three subject areas: Cytology, Basic Tissues, and Tubular Organ Micromorphology.   Each subject area consists of: Introduction, Overview, Tutorial Review, and Self-evaluation components.   Images are presented in sequential magnifications, as one would use a microscope to view cellular components.   Images are available in Triple stain (blue/orange/red), H&E, and in some cases, special stains.   Interactive questions with appropriate feedback are presented at timely intervals.   The Cytology section presents illustrations and text about cellular organelles and inclusions.   The Basic Tissues section presents illustrations and text about epithelium, connective tissue (including blood and supporting tissue), muscle, and nerve.   The Tubular Organs section presents the morphology of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, reproductive and urinary systems of mammals and birds.   Known errors: In Basic Tissues, under Nervous Tissue, there is an image of a transected spinal cord that is upside down, with dorsal and ventral grey horns mislabelled.
