This course will relate structure to functional characteristics of living cells; emphasis is placed on how changes in molecular structures may alter cell structure and function. The integrated perspective presented in Histology/Cell Biology will provide a framework for the more detailed molecular and functional aspects taught in subsequent courses in the preclinical curriculum. Cell Biology and Histology lectures will provide details of the four basic tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous) and how these in turn form the numerous organs of the body. Lectures on basic tissues and organ systems are accompanied by related learning module sessions.
