This course aims to introduce the novice learner to the essential concepts of animal histology, focusing on the structure and function of tissues in the body. Histology plays a vital role in understanding how tissues support and maintain the organism鈥檚 functions, and this course highlights their importance in health and disease. The course will cover various types of animal tissues, each with its unique structure and role. Each week, the course will explore one specific tissue type, such as epithelial tissue, glands, connective tissue, cartilage, bone, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and the cardiovascular system. The course aims to provide a general understanding of how these tissues are structured and how they contribute to the overall function of the animal body. The role of each tissue in maintaining health, supporting physiological functions, and responding to injury or disease will also be discussed. This course will introduce the key features of each tissue type, its functions in the body, and the importance of histological knowledge in areas such as animal health, disease diagnosis, and research. By the end of the course, learners will have a basic understanding of the microscopic structures of animal tissues and their vital roles in the body.
