SVSM 2004 - Basic Concepts in Vertebrate Histology
	This course focuses on major topics in microscopic anatomy of vertebrates. In addition to receiving lectures and laboratory sessions reviewing the basic microscopic features of the tissues, students receive instruction in preparation of slides for study. This involves learning the techniques of fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining the specimens. Based on individual laboratory experiences and interests, each student chooses an appropriate tissue or organ from an adult mouse or a chick embryo, creates a series of microscopic slides for observation and study, utilizes digital photomicroscopy and enhancement techniques to document findings, and prepares a descriptive anatomy presentation.
