Lab 6: Epithelial Tissues

PURPOSE:
To review the characteristics of epithelial tissue. To observe examples of this tissue

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. List six types of epithelial tissue
2. Describe the general characteristics of epithelial tissue
3. Describe the special characteristics of each type of epithelial tissue
4. Identify examples of epithelial tissue

PROCEDURE:
1. Review Cpt 4, pages 84-92, plus the Epithelial Tissue page.

2. Define the following terms in your lab book:
epithelial tissue, simple squamous, stratified squamous , simple cuboidal , simple columnar , pseudostratified epithelia, goblet cells, gland cells, exocrine gland, endocrine gland, basement membrane, microvilli, hormones

3. Complete Part A and paste into your NoteBook

4. Use the microscope to observe the prepared slides of six types of epithelial tissues. As you observe each tissue, look for the characterisitcs described in the text, the website, and the Histology Key, such as cell size, shape, and arrangement that distinguish it from others.

5. In your notebook Draw and Label properly and list observations of the following tissues: Simple Squamous, Simple Cuboidal, Simple Columnar, Pseudostratified (columnar), Stratified Squamous, Transitional

6. Review the slides by testing yourself and your lab partner. Remember you will be having a lab practical on these slides. Also review the HistoWeb Epithelia page.

7. Print out the images below and paste into your Lab Notebook and Label them.

8. As you complete the lab, Review the "Lab Objectives" from the handout and write a synopsis of the lab addressing the four objectives, describing the various types of epithelial tissue and how they are used in the body
