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

Chapter 5 Study Guide Name: Hour: 1. What are the five most important functions of epithelial tissue. 2. Identify the four principal tissue types. 3. Explain how the shape of epithelial cells is used for classification purposes. What are the four types of epithelium described in this classification process? 4. Classify epithelium according to the layers of cells present. 5. List the types of simple and stratified epithelium and give examples of each

Period____ Tissues Lab Directions: This lab is broken down into three sections: Epithelial Tissue‚ Connective Tissue‚ and Muscle & Nerve Tissue. For each section‚ read the background and answer any questions before you come to class‚ then in class sketch the specimens listed under each sketch circle. For your sketches‚ include the total magnification under which you viewed the specimen and be very detailed in your sketch. Epithelial Tissue Background Functions of Epithelium Epithelium has two

Epithelial tissue protects your body from moisture loss‚ bacteria‚ and internal injury. There are two kinds of epithelial tissues: Covering and lining epithelium covers or lines almost all of your internal and external body surfaces; for example‚ the outermost layer of your skin and other organs‚ and the internal surface lining of your lymph vessels and digestive tract. Glandular epithelium secretes hormones or other products such as stomach acid‚ sweat‚ saliva‚ and milk. Connective tissue generally

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

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

Epithelial tissue Covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. The major function of epithelial tissue includes protection‚ secretion‚ absorption‚ and filtration. The skin is an organ made up of epithelial tissue which protects the body from dirt‚ dust‚ bacteria and other microbes that may be harmful. Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialised to form the

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
