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 of how the human body is able to function as a unit. The human body is composed of four basic types of tissues such as epithelium , connective , muscular , and nervous tissues. These tissues vary in their composition and their function. A basic understanding of the role of each tissue makes understanding the specific functions easier. Epithelium is lines and covers surfaces. Connective tissues to protect, support, and bind together. Muscular tissue produces movement and Nervous tissue to receive stimulation and conduct impulses.
Objective * define tissue and histology * identify and describe the four major types of tissues. * Identify and describe the specific example of the faour major types provided in this session. * Describe the general funtion and location of the major tissue types.
Material
haematoxylin and eosin mounted sliders, microscope, colour pencils and drawing materials.
Procedure observed the mounted slide under microscope, identified the tissues, hand-draw out and label the different type of tissues based on clasification and stages.
