Tissues:  Epithelial, Connective

BEFORE CLASS:  BACKGROUND AND PREPARATION
  1. Preview text chapters, lab manual, Powerpoint presentations, web resources
  2. Try online microscope simulator  [link]
  3. Print out handouts for this section of course
  4. Check out histology websites, beautiful images of tissues:  Univ. of Delaware [link], JayDoc (Univ. of Kansas) [link]
  5. Check out Histology World:  Send Histology greeting cards, buy Anatomy Pneumonics T-shirts, Lots of Histology learning aids: [link]

 

GOALS PRESENTATIONS ACTIVITIES
  1. Master interactive, dynamic use of microscope (if not yet done in lab).

Preparation of MIcroscope Slides

Online Microscope simulator

  1. Become familiar with  fundamental tissue types--epithelial and connective--and features of sub-types within each

Epithelial and Connective Tissues

Epithelial and Connective Tissue Slides

WEB RESOURCES

College X Drive where you can see tissue images from class [Link to Tegrity video with instructions]

Pearson Histology Review--nice slides like ours with and without labels [link]

 

DETAILED LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  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. Become proficient at use of microscope
  5. Learn to read prepared microscope tissue slides.
  6. Learn sub-types of epithelial tissues with examples of each
  7. Learn sub-types of connective tissues with examples of each
  8. Learn to recognize basic tissue types along with cellular and matrix features of basic tissue types
