DHY 111 - Histology and Oral Embryology

Institution:

Wayne County Community College District

Subject:

Description:

PrerequisiteDHY 101, DHY 110, DHY 120 Histology and Oral Embryology encompasses the development of the oral facial complex including the formation of the enamel, dentin and pulp root formation, the attachment apparatus and the eruption and shedding of the teeth. The course focus is on the ontogeny of humans with emphasis on the development of the maxillofacial area and dental structures. Study will be divided into 3 parts. The first part of the course will cover basic and general histology, such as the study of the cell and its organelles, epithelium, connective tissue, blood and its cellular elements, cartilage, bone, muscle, nerve tissue, etc. The second part of the course will cover the histology of the oral and dental structures, such as the oral epithelium, enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum, alveolar bone, PDL, etc. The third part of the course will cover the embryology of the oral and head and neck structures. This course is a fascinating one that promises to be quite challenging and interesting. In this course, you will study the various tissues and organs and organ systems of the human body from a microscopic view. In other words, gross anatomy deals with structures that can be seen with the naked eye, whereas histology dealswith structures that require a microscope (whether light or electronto visualize. In addition to learning about the microscopic anatomy of the afore-mentioned, you will also learn about these structures from a biochemical point of view. Perhaps even more fascinating is the embryology portion of this course that will teach you the basis for the development of the human being. Again when studying the development of the human, you will learn and study this process from a microscopic and biochemical vantage.
