HISTOLOGY
Purpose: The
purpose of this exercise is to observe the microscopic details of epithelial,
and connective tissues; and to discover where in the body these tissues
are located.
Objectives:
By completing this exercise, students will learn to:
1.
Recognize by sight, examples of epithelial and connective tissues
2.
Explain the structural differences between epithelial and connective tissues.
3.
List the location and general function of the various types of connective
and epithelial tissues.
Procedure: For
each tissue type listed
-draw
and label a few representative cells
-list
location and function of tissue in slide include magnification that you
used
to draw the slide
simple
cuboidal epithelium
simple squamous epithelium
simple
columnar epithelium
transitional epithelium stratified
cuboidal epithelium
stratified columnar epithelium stratified
squamous epithelium
loose connective tissue adipose
tissue
fibrous connective tissue tendon
hyaline cartilage ground
bone
blood Questions: 1.
List 5 structural / functional differences between epithelial and connective
tissues. 2.
List the 3 types of fibers found in connective tissue, what tissue you
found them in, along with their function. 3.
How do bone and blood qualify as connective tissue? 4.
By viewing the slides, can you discern why cartilage injuries repair slower
than those of other connective tissue? 5.
What is basement membrane? How easy was it to find in the tissue sample?
Describe its function(s). 6.
Which tissue has cells modified to produce mucous?What
is the function of mucus? 7.
Which tissue[s] has/have cilia?What
is its function in those tissues? 8.
What structure(s) pass through the Haversian canals?
