Course 5D: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Course 1B
prerequisite: Course 2C, 3C or 4C must also be taken as a preceding
course.—This course begins with a study of the phenomena of cell organization
and cell life in both plants and animals: this is followed by a comparative
study of the elements of structure and their embryological development
in the lower and the higher animals, or in a similar series of
plant forms; the work of each student is individually assigned in great
measure. It includes practice in the more advanced methods of technic,
and a critical discussion of the microscope and its intelligent use, as
means to the ends in view. It is accompanied by the consideration of the
fundamental laws of General Biology as founded upon cytological study.
