Human Tissues: Unit 3

Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function are called tissues. There are four primary tissue types in the human body. This unit will end in a lab practical examination. This timed exam, will require you to recognize, via the microscope, most of the specific tissues of the body. In addition to identifying these tissues, you must also be able to:

• Name the four major tissue types and their chief subcategories
• Explain how the four major tissue types differ structurally and functionally
• Give the chief locations of the various tissue types in the body
• Explain how endocrine and exocrine glands differ in structure and function
• Explain how CTs differ from other body tissues
• Understand the differences and locations of the three types of muscle tissue
• Know the two main cell types in nervous tissue
• Have a basic understanding of cancer from your reading of "Cancer - The Intimate Enemy" on page 102
