VETERINARY HISTOLOGY
Light and digital microscopy are used to study the anatomy of organs and tissues at the cellular level. Microanatomic features of all major organ systems are identified, and pertinent physiologic concepts are discussed to correlate structure with function. Mammalian systems are emphasized, and comparisons to non-mammalian species are considered. Direct applications to clinical medicine are included.
