ANAT 309 Functional Histology Units: 3.00
Introduction to mammalian histology, or microscopic anatomy, a branch of anatomical sciences focusing on structures and functions of tissues and cells at the light and electron microscope level. Structure-function relationships within many tissues and organs at the cell and tissue level will be a focus.
NOTE Priority will be given to students registered in a LISC Specialization Plan or Health Sciences plan.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Compare, contrast and discuss the differences in the organization and structure of the four basic tissue types and their association into organs and systems
- Describe normal structure-function relationships within cells and tissues as well as recognize abnormal histology, such that a prediction of the consequences of this disruption can be made for a disease state
- Recognize and describe the organization of the mammalian cell and the function of the major cell organelles
- Using histological sections, identify the four basic tissue types and various tissues, organs and cell types
