Functional Histology

Description

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. Learning Hours: 120 (36 Lecture, 24 Laboratory, 60 Private Study) Requirements: Prerequisite Level 3 or above and ( PHGY 170 or BIOL 102 or BIOL 103 or BIOL 202). 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 Assessment/Exam Context: Course assessment and examinations vary by course; Queen's notes that eligible exchange students whose first language is not English may receive extra final-exam time. Exchange Registration Note: Arts and Science courses are open to exchange students subject to prerequisites and space. Most courses should be in Arts and Science; other faculties may be limited. Education, Medicine, and Nursing are not open to incoming exchange enrolment.
