Cell Biology handouts:

This group of web pages provides basic information about cell biology topics. Many of the photos are taken from texts used by our students. These are used as supplemental handouts and guides for the discussions in our lectures.  Most of these topics focus on structure/function correlations. They are not intended to be comprehensive. 

NEW!!

2002 Medical Cell Biology lectures; From new Medical Cell Biology Course at UAMS 

Medical Microanatomy lecture handouts dealing with cell biology topics (2001 lectures in Microanatomy).

Review quiz on organelles

Note: Some topics, like those focusing on mitochondria, will correlate with biochemistry and physiology lectures that expand students' understanding of that organelle system.  This site will be updated regularly as new lectures are developed and old lectures revised.

We hope that this information is useful as you study these concepts throughout your basic science and systems courses. We will keep the pages updated and appreciate any comments or questions you might have.
