Comparative Veterinary Histology contains 2 parts, the first dealing with general histology and the second includes references to selected organs which either do not exist in man or discusses in greater detail histologic characteristics and modifications specific to domestic animals. The first module reviews basic concepts in histology including correct and critical viewing of slides, different dyeing techniques, principals of slide preparation and a systematic review of the major body systems in a human/primate/mammal model. In the second module the following topics are discussed: haired and non-haired skin, mammary and other specialized glands, hoof, claw and other appendages, microanatomy of the brain, red and white blood cells, forestomachs of ruminants, eye, teeth and male and female reproductive systems. In general, each topic is introduced by a lecture presenting the nomenclature, histologic appearance and function of a specific tissue. This is followed by a practical session where the students are required to identify the relevant features in histologic slides.
