| Histology is an image intensive subject. However, this should not necessitate studentsвЙ memorization of illustrated material and associated questions. Histology requires an organized approach to the recognition of the microscopic anatomy of tissues and a strong knowledge base concerning the structure and function of those tissues.
Histology ImageReview was created with the purpose of providing students with a systematic review of cell and tissue biology and organ histology. It offers several different magnifications of a structure, tissue or organ as if the student were using a microscope in the histology laboratory. We have compiled over 1200 images arranged in twenty chapters beginning with an introduction to histology and concluding with the organs of special sense. Both light and electron micrographs are included in the chapters. In addition, Histology ImageReview contains selected clinical correlations which augment basic histological information. Furthermore, the program provides a mechanism for self-assessment employing image-based questions and learning responses. The authors hope that the total package will enable students to develop a framework for study and review of histology that is based on understanding and recognition rather than rote memorization.
The authors thank Mary Jo Norris for providing many of the electron micrographs included in this publication. In addition, we are deeply indebted to Ann Bretschneider of the Kessler Teaching Laboratories of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for assistance with the clinical correlations. She not only furnished us with microscope slide material but also contributed some of her own micrographs to the project. We are grateful to William Crossland of Wayne State University School of Medicine for his thorough review of the program in its early stages. Many of his suggested changes were incorporated into the final version. Lastly, the authors thank Ed Tice for his devoted assistance and boundless computer expertise in the development of the program and Alexander Grimwade for his perseverance in the completion of the program despite numerous obstacles. |
