HISTOLOGY OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Powerpoint is by Jose Danilo B. Diestro. Pictures are by the entire MDL 9 (D’s and E’s) of
UP MED 2013

Warnings:
5. This powerpoint has not been confirmed by any doctor because we only had 1 lab session.
6. Read your lab manual as you view this powerpoint (they are in the same order)
7. Not all structures were labeled.
8. The parathyroid section suffers from a bad class slide with poor staining
