These slides are from the Anatomy and Physiology 203 slide set. Please handle them with care and return them to their correct location in the box when finished. Hold the slide up to the light to get a feel for the specimen, and see if you can detect any structural features. Then examine each slide at low power to find the field which best shows the listed features. Then illustrate the view, label the indicated features and briefly describe their functions
