Discuss Functions of Tissue

Pancreas Tissue

• Islets of Langerhans-2• Connective Tissue-3• Blood Vessel-4

Thyroid Tissue

• Connective Tissue• Hormone secreting

cells• Storage of Hormone

Blood

• Red Blood Cells• Platelets• Monocytes• Neutrophils/Basophils

Adipose Tissue

• Brown vs. White– Brown-generates heat;

infants/animals that hibernate

– White “typical fat”

Muscle Tissue

• Intercalated disks• Multinucleated• Striations

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Neuron

• Cell Body• Nucleolus• Cellular processes

(axons)

Lung Tissue

• Bronchi• Alveoli• Ciliated Columnar

Epithelial Tissue

Small Intestine

• Connective Tissue• Goblet cells

(pseuodostratified columnar)

Compact Bone (Ground)

“Osteon”• Haversian Canal• Location of Blood

vessels/nerves• Osteocytes• Canaliculi

Cartilage

• Chondrocytes• Matrix

Hyaline

Fibrous

Elastin

• What type of tissue?• Can you identify

– Cells

– Sinuses

Can YOU find and interpret tissue samples?

Lab Goals:1. Glands: Pancreas, thyroid—Recognize characteristics of

secreting cells2. Blood: Identify 3 different types of cells in a blood smear3. Adipose tissue: Identify characteristics that distinguish this

tissue4. Muscle: Identify characteristics associated with smooth,

skeletal, cardiac.5. Neuron: Distinguish 3 main parts of a neuron6. Lung tissue: Identify the epithelial tissue types associate

with lung tissue7. Small intestine: Identify the epithelial tissue types

associated with small intestine8. Bone/cartilage: Be able to distinguish cell structures and

difference between bones and cartilage
