Section 6 Types of Tissue OBJECTIVES: Upon completing this section‚ you will be able to: 1. Define the word histology. 2. Name and briefly describe the four basic types of tissue. 3. Name the three subtypes of simple epithelial tissue. 4. List the five main subtypes of connective tissue. 5. Name the three subtypes of muscle tissue. 6. Name the two types of nerve tissue. 68 Section 6 Types of Tissue HISTOLOGY Histology is the microscopic study of cells‚ tissues‚ and organs. Also called

Histology This lab focused on the examination and identification of tissues that make up the organs of the body. The tissues are divided into four main categories: epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle‚ and neuronal. Click on the thumbnail images to see a larger version. All of the photomicrographs were taken using the 40X objective (400X magnification)‚ which is the highest magnification we use in this lab. Other resources include linked web pages on the "Resources" page and the histology tutorial

PLANT TISSUES (pp 261-268) HOW ARE CELLS ORGANIZED IN PLANTS? I. MERISTEMATIC TISSUES A. APICAL MERISTEMS Primary Growth 1. Initials a. Occur near tips of roots and shoots b. Cells have thin walls‚ prominent nuclei‚ and small vacuoles c. Functions 1) Establish patterns of growth. • Leaf pattern. 2) Produce new‚ genetically healthy cells 3) Produce derivatives which in turn account for primary growth i.e. elongation. 2. Derivatives a.

Classification of Tissues Introduction Cells are the smallest units of life. In complex organisms‚ cells group together with one another based on similar structure and function to form tissues .Tissues provide the numerous functions of organs necessary to maintain biological life. This lab exercise seeks to introduce the various tissues found in the human body and to familiarize you with their composition and function. The study of tissues is called histology ‚ and is important to the understanding

Epithelial Tissue covers body surfaces (epi‚ on + thelium‚ surface). Epithelial tissue consists of cells attached to one another to form an uninterrupted layer of cells that separates the underlying tissues from the outside world. The body’s epithelium not only covers its obvious surfaces (such as the epidermis of the skin and the linings of respiratory‚ urinary‚ and digestive tracts) but also extends into all of the complex invaginations which form lungs‚ kidneys‚ sweat glands‚ digestive glands

Lab 4 Histology Name AL List the four types of tissue found in the human body and give an example of each. 1. Epithelial 2. Connective 3. Muscular 4. Nervous Epithelial tissue What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue? it never has contact with another cell‚ it always has a free surface. They contain no blood vessels (avascular) and depend on underlying tissues for needed nutrients and oxygen sources to maintain homeostasis. it is usually very thin for this reason

2010 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I Chapter 4: TISSUES AND MEMBRANES Outline of Notes I. Introduction. A. General: Cells are highly specialized and interdependent on one another. Groups of similar cells performing similar functions are called Tissues The study of tissues is called Histology. Organs are made of tissues. A detailed understanding of tissues will greatly help your understanding of organs and organ systems later in this course. Tissues are classified into 4 main types:

Lab IX: Nervous System Histology and Spinal Cord Part II: Neurons and nerve struture 1.) There are three types of neurons. The first is the multipolar‚ which is the most common‚ and they are found as motor neurons and interneurons throughout the central nervous system. The second type of neuron is the unipolar neuron‚ which are also called psuedounipolar neurons. They are found as spinal and cranial sensory neurons. The last neuron is the bipolar neuron. They are only found in olfactory‚ visual
