1. Classification of Tissues: Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue: a tissue that supports, transports, binds, and protects structures in the body
Turn to page 62 of the lab book and pages of the lab packet

2. Types of Connective Tissue

3. I will use BOTH microscopes AND histograms to test you on epithelial tissues. Make sure you look at the microscopes in lab and the histograms in this presentation.

4. Make sure you know all the pieces of information listed in your lab packets! Also know the locations of ALL tissues!

6. Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar Tissue Find: matrix/ground substance, collagen fibers, elastic fibers, nuclei of cells

7. Loose Connective Tissue - Areolar note the collagen fiber at the pointer and the black elastic fibers. Also note the nuclei of cells.

33. There is a Histology Practice Test on my webpage!
Use it to study and review!

34. Lab Exam 1 30 stations with 2-3 ques. Per station
