Covers theory and techniques learned in Histotechnology I and II. Students will study more complicated special stains, focusing on methods used for microorganisms, pigments, minerals, the nervous system, connective tissue, and muscle stains.

 
Learning Outcomes:

• The student will receive theory on the steps, functions of solutions and results of connective tissue and muscle stains.
• The student will receive theory the steps, functions of solutions and results of the microorganism stains.
• The student will receive theory the steps, functions of solutions, and results of the nervous system stains.
• The student will receive theory the steps, functions of solutions and results of the pigments and minerals stains.
• The student will participate in the development of an action plan for “go-live” in the simulated student laboratory.
