Medical Histology and Cell Biology Main Menu

This is your lab manual that you will use for the live laboratories in the Fundamentals courses. These files include links to still images as well as links to digital versions of your glass slide set. You can do the entire lab from your computer.

Virtual laboratory sessions are a series of activities that can be done in place of the traditional laboratory. The content is the same, except these assignments are entirely virtual (no microscope) and can be done from any location (though the video files they contain may be difficult to stream if you have a poor connection).

Electron Micrographs from envelope

This is a digital version of all the electron micrographs that are in the envelope in your drawer. You will be looking at these micrographs extensively in lab #2, and sporadically after that. The notes section of this PowerPoint file contains the key, thought questions, and the answers to those questions.

Lab Introduction Images

Before the VLM and Virtual Histology Laboratories made learning histology easier, the faculty used to present a brief laboratory introduction at the beginning of each lab, showing images from our slide set and describing what to look for on these slides. We no longer do these pre-lab presentations, even in the live labs, but you can access the files here if you are itching to have more things to look at.

Questionmark Practice Quizzes

Through the combined efforts of myself, Jenna Klotz and Matt Stansbury (both class of 2012), we have created a database of practice questions using the testing software that you will be using for exams. To access these files, click on the links below. In the opening screen, put in your UC username; no password required. These are from the old histology course, so some questions are outdated, but many are still useful.
