These pages support the Animal Histology (146:322) course at Rutgers University. Use the following link for course information, including the lecture and lab schedule, announcements, old exams, and histology links on the web. Added in 2008 - Lydia's Notes - an excellent review of the material.
Added this year - PowerPoint presentations of my projection slides used in lecture. These include light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy images, plus many diagrams. I have also added other images I collected from the internet using Google image searches.
These pages contain a number of digitized images for the study of histology. The images have been collected by Bruce Babiarz, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology & Neuroscience and Histology Instructor at Rutgers University. The following tissues and organ systems are available:
Cytology
Epithelium
Loose Connective Tissue and Adipose
Dense Connective Tissue, Cartilage, Bone and Joints
Blood and Blood Forming Tissues
Blood Vessels
Lymphatic System
Muscle
Nervous System
Integument
Sensory Systems
Digestive System
Respiratory System
Urinary System
Female Reproductive System
Male Reproductive System
Endocrine Systems
Each section is presented with a short descriptive text and links to labeled pictures. At the end of the section the images are presented again, in an unlabeled, lab practical format for review. The thee review sections, covering the material on Lab Practical Exams I, II, and III, each contain 6 practice exams with 10 scopes each.
