Microscopic Tissue Anat (HLAB)

This course provides an introduction to the healthcare environment and the histology laboratory. This includes laboratory safety and infection control; healthcare professionals; medical terminology; basic anatomy and physiology; laboratory mathematics; communication; and ethics, legal, and professional issues.

This course is an Introduction to the basic theories and practices of histotechnology. This includes laboratory safety, fixation, tissue processing, embedding, microtomy and cryotomy, and routine staining. Prerequisite HLAB1401

This course provides recognition, composition, and function of cells, cell life cycles, blood, and basic tissue types.

This course provides a continuation of Histotechnology I. It introduces both theory and practice of common histochemical staining techniques. Topics include laboratory safety; laboratory mathematics and reagent preparation; basic tissue/dye bonding; differentiation and quality control; and nuclear, connective tissue, and carbohydrate staining techniques.

This course is a continuation of Functional Histology I with emphasis on the recognition, composition, and function of organ systems. It includes skeletal tissues, central nervous system, circulatory system, endocrine glands, and reproductive system.

This course provides the student with a health-related work-based learning experience that enables the student to apply specialized occupational theory, skills, and concepts. Direct supervision is provided by the clinical professional.
