Fall 2025 Laboratory LectureThe first of a two-semester sequence of courses, emphasizing developmental and microstructural foundations of structural differentiation of cell, tissue, and organ systems. Emphasis is placed upon principles, fundamental concepts, and applicable details as well as comparative aspects of general importance for veterinary medicine and biomedical research. That you have some background in biochemistry and cell biology is assumed.
Learning Outcomes1Recognize and interpret normal microscopic structure, using the language and conventions of medicine.
2Understand development resulting in normal structure.
3Understand relationships of cellular organelles and inclusions to cellular, tissue, organ, and whole animal physiology.
4Develop skills to effectively use a light microscope for critical observation, identification, and analysis, of cell, tissue, organ, and embryonic microstructure.
5Develop an awareness of species characteristics and variations of structure that reflect physiology, artifact, gerontology, and pathology.
6Develop an awareness of links between cellular and tissue structure to other disciplines of veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences (e.g. physiology, gross anatomy).
7Develop approaches to nurture the "active learning" process required to develop and maintain competency as a veterinarian and/or biomedical scientist.
