Course Description
This c M114 Histology and Molecular Biology (3 credits hours)
This course provides fundamental basic knowledge of histology and cell biology. The course provide
students with basic knowledge of different aspects of cellular and tissue parts (membrane, cytoskeleton,
matrix).It explores the histology and properties of the basic human tissues (Epithelium, connective tissue,
Muscle and nervous tissues )
Course OBJECTIVES:

To introduce the Histological Tools (Light and Electron Microscopes) used in histology study.
To understand the basic histological slide preparation
To understand the basic structural organization of the cell.
To describe and understand the basic features of different types of epithelia.
To describe and understand the basic features of different types of connective tissues
To understand the structure of body membranes and matrixes.
To integrate and use the above knowledge in understanding the systemic aspect of human
body.
8. To provide basic applicable knowledge in practical application.
