Find out Histology websites . The answer is out there

[mith]

or you could also search for blood vessels.

Think about it. What are the functions of the arteries? they need those strong muscular tissues so they can efficiently get the blood pumping all over the body and to all extremities, right?
What are the function of capillaries?
i dont recommend websites.... i would go with a biology book, its totally basic bio

[Dr.Stein]

Why don't recommend websites? Sometimes they provide free handouts or lecture notes of some professors from any universities. It's quite good

[nugget]

oh yeh i guess i didnt consider that, but still i mean more often than not, especially for the less experienced... you know what i mean? some of those things also require a password, all my uni websites require passwords.

[Dr.Stein]

Yeah, some universities has free access. Some professors even have their own site, where we can do interactive with them. As a teacher/researcher, those websites are very helpful as they allow me to use their resources, of course with copyright permission, and they reply my e-mail when I need to discuss something

For online journals, if you have to pay to get full text, there is a trick: find out the corresponding author of that journal, write a mail to ask free journal. If you are lucky, they could be your "virtual" supervisor That's my experience
