This course in microscopic anatomy emphasizes correlating structure with function. The course includes hands-on laboratory sessions during which fixed specimens, prepared by a variety of methods, are examined with a microscope. Information derived by newer techniques (scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, immuno-cytochemistry, stereology, autoradiography, etc.) are introduced where appropriate. The course uses a variety of teaching formats: lecture, small-group conferences, clinical correlation exercises, and clinical case-based sessions. Examinations include both written and laboratory practical parts . (planned for spring)
