I have no sponsors and do not host paid advertisements. All external links are provided freely to sites that I believe my visitors will find helpful. This site was placed originally for the medical students at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City.
Since then, I have been delighted that many other learners at all levels have found it helpful. This site introduces basic concepts of histology actively, without having to schedule classroom time. Especially if you plan a career in medicine or bioscience, you will need basic histology competency in the years ahead. KCUMB Students who complete this exercise can expect to be successful on the first histology signoff. We hope you enjoy the dynamic approach to histology. Histology. Untitled.

Actually, collagen isn't a single material; depending on what reference you consult, there are at least six, and perhaps as many as 15 chemically distinct collagen variants.
It's composed of smaller subunits (tropocollagen molecules) laid together in triplets, somewhat like braids. The example above at left is from the muscle of the heart, and the collagen fibrils are dense single strands, forming a ribbon-like fiber that lies between the muscle bundles.

This tissue module is designed to acquaint you with the basic characteristics of tissues.
The design enables the "first-timer" to take a systematic approach by stepping through tissue categories and topics to learn key characteristics of each tissue type. For those seeking clarification or review, the organizational table that follows can be used as a launching point to a specific tissue type or related concept. Finally, For those of you with a background who would like to see some instant sample images, take the "jet-track" to the tissue viewing page to view unlabelled images. There are home-links on the top and bottom of pages. The top home-link will always return you to the topic area you have chosen. This module employs frames that appear below or to the side of the main window.
Keep in mind each of us associates and integrates information in unique ways and for this reason, ample links are provided for viewing supportive text, images, and diagrams. Jet Track to Tissues. SIU SOM Histology.
