• To learn microscopic anatomy of the tissues and organs of the human body.
• To learn histological terms and concepts for the purpose of identification and precise communication.
• To develop a systematic thinking process as a means to identify histological preparations correctly.
• To understand the relationship between microscopic structure and function.
• To understand the preparative procedures used in histology and how they affect the visual image.




By methodically reviewing images in this database you will learn to identify cells, tissues, organs, and parts of organs correctly. You learn to do this, not by memorizing the images, rather, by learning how morphological features relate to function and by understanding which features are most diagnostic of organ systems and organs of the systems. In medicine, as in histology, this intellectual process involves art as well as science. The art lies in knowing which questions to ask, and in what order, in your systematic process of elimination.

• All available keywords related to specific topics are listed on the Notes pages of this site.

• Images will be sorted in alphabetical order of the slide names in the UWA ANHB teaching slide collection.

• All images are 1280 x 1024 pixels in size. Although the images were compressed to the smallest size that does not result in an appreciable loss of image quality, the image files are still large (0.2 - 0.6 MB).

Histology and pathology images

MedPics:

MedPics is a computer-assisted learning program with online access to histology and pathology images. The Instructional Development Group of Educational Computing in conjunction with the Histology and Human Disease course faculty created MedPics, which provides a convenient mechanism for reviewing photomicrographs and other images chosen by faculty to demonstrate major course concepts in Histology, Pathology and Hematology. Make sure you recognize that you can toggel between the histology section (normal tissues) and the pathology section (disease states). Each image is accompanied by a descriptive text legend and graphic overlays that identify key structures, enabling you to study at your pace with faculty-level guidance.

Histology Image Bank

Histology Image Bank:

The Histology Image Bank has been compiled from student glass slide sets used in the laboratory to illustrate essential features described in the Laboratory Manual used for the Histology courses (SOM 213 or SPPS 240). In contrast to MedPics, there are no graphic overlays indicating key features. In the Histology Image Bank, descriptive legends emphasize key features in order to encourage students to master relevant vocabulary.

Virtual Slidebox of Histology

Virtual Slidebox:
Virtual Slidebox is a comprehensive website that contains a full histology slide set that can be manipulated with a virtual microscope. In addition to descriptive legends, many slides contain links to corresponding gross anatomical images. Importantly, there are links to pathology slides sets and corresponding gross anatomical images, giving easy access to normal and abnormal histology and gross anatomy. One of the best websites for histology and histopathology available.
