Define the term tissue.
Name the four primary adult tissue types, and give a brief description of each.
Compare and contrast the structure and function of the three types of cell junctions.
Sketch a typical layer of epithelium. Label each structure and use this cell layer to discuss the
characteristics, locations, and functions of epithelia.
Explain how epithelia are nourished.
Discuss the classification scheme for epithelia.
For each of the following epithelial tissues (ET), give a structural description (including any
special features such as cilia, goblet cells, etc.), denote a key body location, and identify its
function(s):
o Simple Squamous ET
o Simple Cuboidal ET
o Simple Columnar ET
o Pseudostratified Columnar ET
o Transitional ET
o Stratified Squamous ET (both keratinized and non-keratinized)
o Stratified Cuboidal ET
o Stratified Columnar ET
o Glandular ET
Distinguish between merocrine, apocrine, and holocrine exocrine glands and give an example of
each
Define the term carcinoma.
Describe the general characteristics of connective tissues (CT) and discuss the major structural
differences from ET's.
Explain how CT's are composed of cells plus an extracellular matrix composed of ground
substance and fibers.
Describe ground substance, list the three CT fiber types, and name the many types of cells that
may compose CT.
For each of the following connective tissues (CT), describe its structure, name a key body
location, and identify its function(s):
o Mesenchyme
o Areolar CT
o Adipose Tissue
o Reticular CT
o Dense Regular CT
o Dense Irregular CT

o Bone
o Blood
Explain why a CT may be either liquid (blood), semi-solid (fat), or very rigid (bone).
Define the term epithelial membrane and discuss the structure, location, and function of the three
different types: cutaneous, mucous, and serous.
Explain why muscle cells are called fibers and define contractility.
Compare and contrast the three types of muscle tissue in terms of their structure, control, location
in the human body, and function.
Identify the major cell within nervous tissue, denote the location of nervous tissue in the body,
and discuss its function.
