Tissue Practical Guide
For the practical, be able to identify the following tissues and features either on a microscope slide or
from the lab and text micrographs. Be able to identify the nucleus of the cells, as noted in the lab
exercises. The structure in parenthesis following a slide indicated the lab slide it will be found on.
Epithelium
simple squamous epithelium (frog skin)
simple cuboidal epithelium (kidney tubule)
simple columnar epithelium (intestine)
goblet cell, microvilli
stratified squamous epithelium (esophagus)
transitional epithelium (urinary bladder)
pseudostratified columnar epithelium (respiratory syts, trachea)
cilia, goblet cell
