How to—

• handle a microscope

• identify the parts by name, function

• bring a slide into focus on different magnifications

Identify, by sight, the following tissues:

• • simple squamous epithelium (common in the lungs and kidneys)

  • simple ciliated columnar epithelium (common in the trachea)

  • stratified squamous epithelium (common in our skin and linings of internal organs)

  • nervous tissue (in the brain, spinal cord and PNS)

State one function and one location of each tissue

Identify, by sight, the following tissues:

• • adipose tissue (colloquially known as fat)

  • elastic tissue (a fibrous tissue found abundantly in arteries and vocal cords)

  • bone tissue (otherwise known as osseous tissue)

  • blood tissue (composed of 55% water and 45% 'formed elements')

State one function and one location of each tissue

Identify, by sight, the following tissues:

• • skeletal muscle (the type we voluntarily control and is attached to bone)

  • smooth muscle (one type we cannot voluntarily control and is found within visceral organs and blood vessels)

  • cardiac muscle (one type we cannot voluntarily control and is found in the heart, only)

State one function and one location of each tissue
