BIO 3342 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Loose Connective Tissue, Fibrocartilage, Elastic Cartilage
Document Summary
Purpose: learn and distinguish between the four major categories of tissue types in the human body; epithelial, connective, muscle, and cardiac tissue. Identify all subcategories of the four major tissue types. For each tissue type and subcategory, demonstrate knowledge of cell type in the tissue, location of the tissue type, and function of tissue type in relation to the human body. Histology / tissue slides provided by instructor. Marieb, e. human anatomy laboratory manual, 8th ed. Description: at the beginning of the lab, the four major types of tissues that compose the human body were identified and are listed as follows; epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Within these four major categories, the subgroups within each major group were identified and are listed below. With each tissue subgroup, the shape of each cell was determined, special characteristics of each tissue subgroup identified, location of the tissue in the human body distinguished, and function of each tissue differentiated.
