| Summary of Section |
| Introduction |
| This covers the essential information required to interpret conventional light transmission histology slides - includes a brief outline of slide preparation and how magnification is calculated. |
| Connective tissue |
| Briefly covers the main components of connective tissue: fibres; cells and intercellular matrix, their function and appearance in various named classes of connective tissue: loose connective; tendons; hyaline, elastic and fibro-cartilage and bone. |
| Epithelium |
| Covers the essential classification and terminology of surface and non-surface epithelium and briefly relates structure to function. Includes examples of exocrine and endocrine glands. |
| Muscle tissue |
| Covers the structure and appearance of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle. |
| Nervous tissue: |
| Covers the main structural features of neurones and includes various examples of cell bodies, nerve fibres and nerve terminals (or accessory cells). |
