Course Description & Design ANATCELL 3309 is a detailed study of the cellular and microscopic structure of the various tissues and organ systems of the body, with emphasis on humans, and other mammals used in medical research. Systems are examined stressing the relations of structure to function. Extra Information: 2 lecture hours, 2 lab hours per week. This course is a prerequisite for ANATCELL 4425B Advanced Clinical Histology. Prerequisite(s): Registration in third or fourth year. Note: This course is recommended for students with a background in introductory biology. R Lectures should be watched before the appropriate lab. R Live attendance of lab sessions is required for section 001 and strongly recommended for section 200. R A recording will be provided for all lectures and labs. R Missed work should be completed within 48 hours. R Questions should be posted to the owl forum. R Closed captioning will be provided though Panopto. Synchronous lectures and labs will be recorded with Panopto, accessible through OWL (see OWL site for details). All course material will be posted to OWL . Any changes will be indicated on the OWL site and discussed with the class. Students needing assistance can seek support on the OWL Help page .
