Histology: Course Overview
Free video lessons on histology for medical students: 14 video lessons, about 4 hours of video content. Topics are selected based on the principle of 'what students struggle with most': epithelial classification, retinal layers, spiral organ, osteogenesis, structure of the vascular and cardiac walls.
Each lesson comes with a study guide containing a list of structures and terms — perfect for self-assessment before class.
What's in the course
- Epithelial Tissues: classification of epithelial tissues, covering and glandular epithelium, stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
- Sensory Organs: spiral organ, 10 layers of the retina
- Blood and Bone: eosinophils and basophils, hemogram for freshmen, endochondral ossification
- Special Histology: histology of the esophagus, blood vessels and heart, periodontium and periodontal ligament
Where to start: with the classification of epithelial tissues — the description of almost any organ is built upon it.
