Histology - A Systems Approach

摘要

In this book a systems approach has been applied to the design of instruction in histology and microanatomy, with emphasis on microanatomical organization and related principles of learning. The presentation has utilized flow charts for the factual aspects of the organization and algorithms, as a logical procedure for discriminatory activity, essential for identification of microanatomical units and organs. These procedures have the advantage of accuracy and brevity by encapsulating the essential information on a single chart. The final choice of teaching method, teaching materials, and illustrations is to be made by the department concerned and its faculty. Conventional line diagrams and photomicrographs have been deleted from this book. The utility of the graphics in this system can be augmented by coloring various components of a flow chart in a differential manner. For this purpose a color scheme can be devised in which similar components of different structural units are colored with the same color. This technique encourages greater student participation in the learning process. The books chapter headings are: Use of a microscope; the cell and its structure; tissues and their elements; structural units in microanatomy; principles of microanatomical organization; discriminatory activity for structural units; structural plan of organs (44 flow charts of different organs); and identification of organs (16 flow charts of different organs).
