H&E stained Image

Systems based training modules provide detailed information on the normal anatomy and features of each organ system, as well as particularly common or challenging nonproliferative and proliferative lesions.

Endocrine System

Adrenal Gland

  • Anatomy and Histology of the Normal Rodent Adrenal Gland (1MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the anatomy and histology of the normal rodent adrenal gland, including information on tissue trimming, normal anatomy, hormone production, and congenital lesions.
  • Proliferative Lesions in the Rodent Adrenal Gland (3MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the most common, challenging, or translationally relevant proliferative lesions of the rodent adrenal gland, including defined diagnostic criteria and clearly annotated histologic images.

Parathyroid Gland

  • Anatomy and Histology of the Normal Rodent Parathyroid Gland (1MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the anatomy and histology of the normal rodent parathyroid gland, including information on tissue trimming, normal anatomy, and congenital lesions.
  • Proliferative Lesions of the the Rodent Parathryoid Gland (5MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the most common, challenging, or translationally relevant proliferative lesions of the rodent parathyroid gland, including defined diagnostic criteria and clearly annotated histologic images.
  • Nonproliferative Lesions of the Rodent Parathyroid Gland (2MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the most common, challenging, or translationally relevant nonproliferative lesions of the rodent parathyroid gland, including defined diagnostic criteria and clearly annotated histologic images.

Thyroid Gland

  • Anatomy and Histology of the Normal Rodent Thyroid Gland (2MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the anatomy and histology of the normal rodent thyroid gland, including information on tissue trimming, normal anatomy, and congenital lesions.
  • Nonproliferative Lesions of the Rodent Thyroid Gland (6MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the most common, challenging, or translationally relevant nonproliferative lesions of the rodent thyroid gland, including defined diagnostic criteria and clearly annotated histologic images.

Reproductive System, Female

Uterus

  • Anatomy and Histology of the Normal Rodent Uterus (5MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the anatomy and histology of the normal rodent uterus, including information on tissue trimming, histologic changes during the estrous cycle, congenital lesions, and common artifacts.
  • Histology and Cytology of the Rodent Estrous Cycle (5MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the histology of normal rodent estrous cycle in the uterus, ovary, and vagina, including vaginal cytology.
  • Nonproliferative Lesions in the Rodent Uterus (3MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF describing the most common, challenging, or translationally relevant nonproliferative lesions of the rodent uterus, including defined diagnostic criteria and clearly annotated histologic images.
  • Proliferative Lesions in the Rodent Uterus (4MB): This training modules features a downloadable PDF describing the most common, challenging or translationally relevant proliferative lesions of the rodent uterus, including defined diagnostic criteria and clearly annotated histologic images.
  • Self Assessment - Nonproliferative and Proliferative Lesions (4MB): This training module features a downloadable PDF that reviews lesions covered in the Nonproliferative and Proliferative Lesions of the Rodent Uterus modules, allowing users to practice diagnosing lesions on unmarked histologic images, and check their knowledge against official diagnoses with explanatory text and annotations.
