Lab 5 - Epithelial Tissues and Glands
Objectives Checklist - After completion of this lab, you should be able to:
list the four major tissue types, and
contrast the general features of the four
major tissue types [Pre-lab activity 3]
identify epithelial tissues under the
microscope and name them according
to shape and arrangement [Pre-lab
activity 4; lab activities A1-A4, A6]
describe the functions of each type of
epithelial tissue in the human body and
correlate function with structure for
each tissue type [Pre-lab activity 3; lab
activity A4]
describe locations in the body where
each type of epithelial tissue can be
found [Lab activity A4]
describe the function and location of the
junctions that hold cells together [Lab
activity B1]
describe and distinguish between
endocrine and exocrine glands [Pre-lab
activities 6, 7; lab activity C1]
identify example locations in the body
of exocrine and endocrine glands [Lab
activity C1]
identify and describe the tissue type and
zones making up the epidermis of the
skin Pre-lab activity 8; lab activities
D1, D4]
describe the overall function of cells
making up the epidermis of the skin
[Lab activities D2, D3]
describe the overall function of
exocrine glands found in the skin Lab
activity D1]
Pre-Lab Activities
A. HISTOLOGY
1. What is histology?
2. What is a tissue? What is the difference between a tissue and an organ?
3. List the four major tissues found in the body and give a general description of the role
each plays in our bodies.

Histology is the study of tissues & now they work in the body
A tissue is a group of cells working to do a Z job. An organ is made up of a bunch
of tissues working together to do a much bigger job.
Covers and protects (like skin nes organs, and helps wit
absorbing and releasing substances.
Supports and holds things together (like bones, fat, and blood).
Helps the body move (include nuscles for movement, th heart, and
organs).
