  • If you do histology in a right way, you can easily get marks in this subject.
  • Give a good read  to book ,highlight important lines and shortlist all the important points.

Note: The Screenshots of LOs are added so that you can read the LOs before reading the Guidelines

  • Diagrams are very important .
  • Histology’s trick is same as that of Gross anatomy (Visual memory), Visualize the Pictures and its features!
  • Mostly students don’t take the lectures for histology, but if your concept about anything isn’t clear , then you should take lectures. I’ll suggest lectures with every chapter.
