Online histology assignments - A&P2 Labs
The histology requirement for this course will be performed in Modified Mastering. In the study area of Modified Mastering is a section for Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL). Directions for accessing the study area are shown in iCollege (Course Information Files content folder, file = “PAL directions”). You need to study this area for the histology slide parts according to the assignment titles listed in the schedule. The histology quizzes in Modified Mastering will be based on those slides and will cover the location, anatomy, and/or physiology of those slides in PAL.
If the assignment title is numbered 1, 2, or 3, then it does not relate to the slides in order in the table below. Numbered assignments mean you are taking a random pool of questions from that titled assignment that many times. For example, Epithelial 1, Epithelial 2, and Epithelial 3 assignments all have pooled questions that cover all slides related to epithelial tissues on each assignment.
Each histology assignment will consist of up to 10 questions and have 2 attempts only (highest scoring attempt being the one that is used). There will be 10 histology assignments in total.
The histology questions on quizzes in iCollege and on the midterm/final exam will come from the histology slides taken in our on-campus labs. A file containing labeled images of these histology slides is in iCollege (A&P1 Lab = Ex06 content folder, file = “A&P1 Lab - Histology Drawings”; A&P2 Lab = Ex27 content folder = “A&P2 Lab - Histology Drawings”). Histology questions on quizzes in iCollege and on the midterm and final exam will ask you for the location, anatomy (structure = identification), and/or physiology (function) of the slides. The questions could cover the tissue in general or ask about any of the items listed in the labels part of the tables below.
