About this website

This Histology site has been designed to support selected histology courses or topics at the University of Central Florida, the Molecular Biology and Microbiology undergraduate program and the Doctoral program in Physical Therapy. The micro-anatomical study of the four basic human tissues: Epithelium, Connective, Muscle and Nervous is facilitated. Some basic aspects of molecular cell biology as well as clinical and functional histology correlations are also studied.
