Microanatomy Web Atlas

Introduction:

Welcome!!! Most of the photos were taken from the Microanatomy class slide set. We hope they will help in the laboratory review of tissues in the Molecules, Cells and Tissues course as well as provide a source of photos for reference as you study clinical cases.

Stay tuned for:

Practice Practical exams on this web site.
More photos of slides relevant to cases, Pathobiology topics or the Systems courses in later blocks.
