Laboratory Activities and Assignment

Part 1: Review of Tissues

Epithelial Tissues

1. Where will you always find epithelial tissues?

2. What functions do simple epithelial tissues have?

3. What functions do stratified epithelial tissues have?

4. Describe how to differentiate each type of epithelial tissue in the table below:

Type of epithelial tissue	Describe how to Differentiate this Tissue Type
Simple squamous epithelium
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Simple columnar epithelium
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Stratified squamous epithelium (non-keratinized)
Stratified squamous epithelium (keratinized)
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
Stratified columnar epithelium
Transitional epithelium

Connective Tissues

1. List 3 characteristic of connective tissue.

2. List the four categories of connective tissues.

Muscle Tissues

1. List the characteristics of skeletal muscle.

2. List the characteristics of smooth muscle.

3. List the characteristics of cardiac muscle.

Nervous Tissues

1. Name the two main types of cells present in nervous tissue. Describe their functions.

2. Create an illustration of a neuron from the images in Chapter 5. Label the cell body, axon, dendrites, and nucleus.

Tissue Identification

1. For each microscopic tissue image below, give the category of the tissue shown (epithelial, connective, muscle, or nervous) and give the name of the specific tissue shown.

Part 2: Examining, Illustrating, and Labeling Epithelial Tissues

Obtain the slides listed below that are available for today’s lab.
Focus on each sample and identify the structures listed for each type of tissue.
Indicate the total magnification you make each illustration at in the space provided.
Illustrate each tissue you observe with the microscope at the magnification you listed.
Label each illustration with the structures listed for each.

Simple Squamous Epithelium (Slide: Lung or Kidney)

Label the tissue with: squamous cell, nucleus of squamous cell, simple squamous epithelium, basement membrane, connective tissue
