11.    HISTOLOGY (Theory):

(a)   Underlying principles of histological techniques and staining specific tissues should be explained.

(b)  Staining of paraffin and frozen sections will be given to the students.

(c)   Most of the teaching should be done on stained and mounted sections and every type of normal tissue will be covered.
