About Histology-World!

Frequently Asked Questions

Webmaster for Histology-World.....who are you?

Sarah Bellham

Why did you make Histology-World?

I started Histology-World because I noticed that my college anatomy and histology students found histology difficult and dry. So I decided to try and make histology fun. I also wanted a resource for my anatomy and histology students....a place where I could recommend histology books, histology sites, and give them my histology hints.

Who writes the histology testbank questions? They are the same quality as the histology questions in some books I have bought.

I write the histology testbank questions. I have written and published test preparation questions for a couple of different publishers. You may have bought material with questions I wrote in it. The only difference with the histology test bank questions on Histology-World, is that the histology questions are free!

Can I contribute anything histology related to Histology-World?

If you have an idea for a histology game or histology gizmo, just let me know.

If you have histology images that you own the rights to and would like to have them published in the histology photoalbum, send me an e-mail.

I learned a lot of histology here and would like to show my appreciation. Is there something I can do to show my support for this site?

Also, let your instructors know about Histology-World and suggest that they place a link to this site from their web site as well.
