Abstract: (Critical) This program illustrates microscopic anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The microanatomy is reviewed only as it is revealed by the light microscope; important information available through low magnification transmission electron micrographs and scanning electron micrographs is not included. Some cells, such as myoepithelial cells and argentaffin cells, are not well illustrated; and the argentaffin cell is not identified as representing a wide variety of enteroendocrine cells found throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Occasionally, the stains of the microscopic slides appear to be faded, but, overall, the illustrative quality is quite good. Although the cassette is devoted to microanatomy of the human gastrointestinal tract, monkey tissues are used to illustrate the ileum. The narration is slightly parochial and outdated. A great deal of material is covered in the allotted fifty-five minutes, requiring some knowledge of intestinal histology for full understanding. However, the review is reasonably comprehensive and is recommended with reservations for gastrointestinal nurse practitioners, medical, dental and nursing students, and practicing gastroenterologists.
