Intro/Body Plan

1. Establish two basic ways in which cells organize into tissues:  epithelia, connective tissues
2. Recognize that nerve tissue and muscle tissue are unique to animals, unique in their organization and do not fall into epithelial or connective tissue categories (they will be covered in more detail later)
3. Analyze components of epithelial and connective tissues and the way each element serves the overall purpose of the tissue.
4. Learn sub-types of epithelial tissues with examples of each
5. Learn sub-types of connective tissues with examples of each
6. Use skin as a model for understanding how structure (anatomy), function (physiology), cell organization (histology) and embryology all relate
7. Learn main two component layers of skin--dermis and epidermis as examples of connective and epithelial tissues
8. Learn sub-layers of epidermis and of dermis
9. Appreciate role of cellular and extra-cellular components of skin and their role in skin function
10. Learn about possible skin problems, skin cancer, burns
11. Know distinct features and their function of cartilage and bone tissue
12. Understand process of bone formation and how it relates to the different parts of a long bone
13. Become proficient at use of microscope
14. Learn to recognize basic tissue types, cellular and matrix features of basic tissue types
15. Discern layers of skin in microscope and know function of various skin components
16. Recognize bony tissue and its distinct organization, features that can be seen in microscope
17. Understand how bone forms and be able to see stages of bone formation in microscope slide of long bone

1. Tour of cell as city (see links below)
2. Review chapters 4,5,6 in Martini text
3. Check out histology websites, beautiful images of tissues!

1. Use skin as exampe of how anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology all tie together [PPT download]

1. Learn use of microscope
2. Open fetal pig body cavity to see basic body plan, serous linings
3. Introduction to Tissue Types (Lab Manual Exercise 2)
