Welcome to this digital resource on the histology of the reproductive system. This resource is designed to aid your mastery of the reproductive histology by allowing you to revisit the material presented during lab. The material presented here corresponds with the material presented during lab. In fact you will need the lab exercise, the Histology of the Reproductive System to progress through this digital resource. We hope you find this material helpful. This resource should not take the place of slide observation in the laboratory. For you to fully appreciate histological detail and completely explore a slide of a reproductive structure you should directly observe the slide through the microscope. Also all slide tests involve histology presented through the microscope. A Digital Resource on the Histology of the Reproductive System
