139 pts
INTRODUCTION:
Tissues are masses of similar cells (and their extracellular matrix ) that combine with other
tissues to form membranes or organs . The systematic study of tissue types is called histology . There are four basic
tissue types in humans. These four types are: epithelial tissue , connective tissue , muscle tissue , and nerve tissue .
Each of these four categories includes several subcategories, based on differences in structure and function.
MATERIALS:
iPad (objective app),
microscope, histology slides, pencil, colored pencils
PROCEDURE:
4 pts per sketch

B.
For each of the following epithelial tissues , observe either with your iPad or using a prepared slide. Practice
looking for the key characteristics by which each type can be classified. Sketch a representative example using the
template provided. Please sketch your epithelial slides in the order provided below and label all significant
structures !
C.
For each of the following connective tissues , observe at least one example in a prepared slide. Practice looking
for the key characteristics by which each type can be classified. Sketch a representative example using the template
provided. Please sketch your connective tissue slides in the order provided below and label all significant structures .
