1. Welcome to this digital resource on the histology of the endocrine system. This resource is designed to aid your mastery of the endocrine 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 your lab exercise, the Histology of the Endocrine System to progress through this digital resource. We hope you find this material helpful. However it should not take the place of slide observation in the laboratory. To fully appreciate histological detail and completely explore a slide of an endocrine structure you should observe the slide through the microscope. Also all slide tests involve histology presented through the microscope. A Digital Resource on the Histology of the Endocrine System
