COURSE OUTCOMES
CO1
REMEMBERING
Recall microscopic structure of bone, cartilage, lung, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, testis, and ovary; recall histological techniques (fixation, dehydration, embedding, staining, mounting).
CO2
UNDERSTANDING
Explain structure–function relationships of mammalian tissues and endocrine glands; explain importance of histotechnology and slide preparation methods.
Demonstrate preparation of whole mounts, histological slides, and identify tissues/glands under microscope.
Compare structural differences between tissues (bone vs cartilage, endocrine glands); analyze effects of fixatives and processing steps on tissue preservation.
Assess quality of prepared slides; evaluate role of endocrine glands in maintaining homeostasis.
Prepare and submit histological slides independently; design a basic workflow for tissue processing and staining protocol.
