Colon Histology 2009
From Embryology
Introduction
This practical class will initially provide an overview of the microanatomy of the normal colon, and discuss the functional significance of the various histological structures. The second part, and majority of the class time, will study of the histopathology of colonic neoplasms.
This current page only covers the normal colon histology.
Note: This current page contains both additional information and images to the Medicine practical class set. These are provided for educational information and study purposes only.
Practical Aims
- The aim of this practical class is to relate the normal histology of the colon to its function, and to contrast this with the changes that occur in colonic neoplasia.
- The histopathology of colonic neoplasms will be correlated with common clinical features and the biological behaviour of the disease.
