The intention of this assignment is to help you learn to distinguish/identify tissues. Your finished work should

convince me that you could do so.

When assignments are completed as instructed, this greatly speeds/facilitates grading. Please follow all of

these instructions or points will be lost.

• Tissues must be drawn such that structures are recognizable. Shape and shading of structures

are important. For example, squamous epithelial cells should be flat

• Divide each page into four quarters for four tissues per page. Please use only one side of each page. Any

type of paper is fine (no fringes from notebooks, please).

• Tissues should be on the page in the order of the list on the next page of this assignment.

• Tissues should be labeled clearly with full and complete name of tissue type & subtype.

• If there is more than one tissue type in the picture, label the specific tissue you are trying to depict by

pointing to it with an arrow and/or by using brackets to show the labeled tissue.

• Indicate the special features/structures on the list clearly by labeling and pointing to them.

• The drawings should be clear & neat with the tissue type easily recognizable. They do not have to be an art

project.

• Color is not necessary. The assignment can be done in pencil, pen, cave pigment…it doesn’t matter.

• Extreme detail is not needed, but it should have enough detail so that I can id the tissue. Structure, shape,

arrangement etc. is what is important.

You will submit your drawings as one single PDF document.

• Take a good photo or scan of each page.

• Insert all of the images, in order, into a word document –one of your pages per page of the document.

o There are extensive instructions on how to do this in multiple word processing

programs in this folder.

• Save as a single PDF document titled “Your last name first name drawings”

• After you have created the document, please check that the images and labels are clearly visible & that the

pages are in order.

o It is your responsibility to check: If they are not clear I will grade the submission as is

Using the photos provided of IHCC slides (not from your textbook or atlas! = no points), draw

the tissues below, including underlined structures when indicated.

Drawings should reflect how tissue appears at 400x magnification. Total points = 16 points

(1/2 point for each tissue or feature labeled)

Epithelium (4 points)

• Simple Squamous Epithelium

• Stratified Squamous Epithelium

• Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

• Simple Columnar Epithelium (label goblet cell)

• Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium (label cilia)

• Transitional Epithelium

Connective Tissue (7 points)

• Areolar Connective Tissue

• Dense Regular Elastic Connective Tissue

• Dense Regular Collagenous Connective Tissue

• Dense Irregular Elastic Connective Tissue

• Dense Irregular Collagenous Connective Tissue

• Reticular Connective Tissue

• Adipose Connective Tissue

• Osseous (Bone) Connective Tissue

• Blood Connective Tissue

• Hyaline Cartilage Connective Tissue (label chondrocytes and lacunae)

• Elastic Cartilage Connective Tissue

• Fibrocartilage Connective Tissue

Muscle Tissue (3.5 points)

• Skeletal Muscle (label nucleus and striations)

• Smooth Muscle (label nucleus)

• Cardiac Muscle (label intercalated disc)

Nervous Tissue (1.5 points)

• Nervous Tissue (Label neurons and neuroglial cells)
