10 courses with the subject HTN, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
HTN 101Histology Lecture1
This course introduces the student to safety procedures in the histology laboratory, as well as basic principles and procedures of operation. Areas to be explored include the gross room and surgical cutting, fixation procedures, tissue processing, infiltration media, and embedding. Credits: 1

HTN 103Histology Lecture3
This course introduces the student to stain- ing techniques used to identify connective tissue and muscle tissue in the histology lab. A study of microorganisms encoun- tered in specimens for histologic examina- tion will be presented, along with staining techniques to identify these organisms. Pigments, minerals, and cytoplasmic gran- ules will be differentiated and identified. Credits: 3 CATALOG 2023–2024 115

HTN 104Histology Lecture4
This course will introduce the student to the stains used in the identification of nerve tissue in the histology lab as well as explore specialized histology techniques such as: immunohistochemistry, enzyme histology, and electron microscopy. Students will explore immunohistochemical (IHC) stain- ing methods, identify pathological changes in histology specimens using muscle enzyme histology, cytology, and specimen preparation for examination by electron microscopy (EM). 103, HTN 111, HTN 112, HTN 113 Credits: 3

HTN 113Histology Practicum6
The HTN 113 Histology practicum will pro- vide practical experience in the application of staining techniques for identification of connective tissue, collagen and elastin, reticulum fibers, muscle and basement membranes, lipids, microorganisms, fun- gus, pigments, and minerals. Students will be provided with training by clinical instructors in the application of stain, trou- bleshooting techniques, and the impor- tance of quality control in evaluating stain effectiveness. Students spend 6 hours/week at the practicum site. 111, HTN 112

HTN 114Histology Practicum4
The HTN 114 Histology practicum rotation introduces the student to staining tech- niques used in identifying nerve tissue. As the last clinical rotation in the histotechni- cian program, students become proficient in all areas of the histology laboratory and meet the requirements for employment as an entry-level histotechnician. In addition to routine practices, students will receive orientation in immunohistochemistry and enzyme histochemistry. Students spend 6 hours/week at the clinical site. 103, HTN 11, HTN 112, HTN 113 Credits: 6
