This course provides an introduction to histology, focusing on the study of tissues. The learning outcomes include understanding the hierarchical organization of living matter, recognizing different types of tissues such as epithelium, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue, and identifying their characteristics and classifying schemes. The course teaches about H&E stains, various types of epithelium (e.g., simple squamous, cuboidal, columnar, stratified squamous), connective tissues (e.g., loose CT, cartilage, bone, blood), muscle tissues (skeletal, cardiac, smooth), and nervous tissues (neurons and glial cells). The teaching method involves a video tutorial format with detailed explanations and visual aids. This course is intended for students, professionals, or anyone interested in gaining a foundational understanding of histology.
