Histology assignments - A&P2 Labs
The histology questions on histology assignments, quizzes, and exams in iCollege 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 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.
Histology assignment format:
- Cover material from the content indicated in the schedule.
- 5 multiple choice and/or multi-select questions.
- 1 minute per question + 5 minutes additional to the total time.
- 1 point per question.
- 2 attempts only (highest scoring attempt being the one that is used).
