Introduction
Every structure in your body is made of specialized cells that work together to form tissues. Histology is the study of tissues and is vital to understanding physiology. To the untrained eye, all tissues look alike, but are actually highly specialized to perform a specific function. For example, a thin tissue with many pores might be for filtration, whereas a many layered, waterproof tissue might be for protection.

This lab will teach you to differentiate between the four major types of tissues, recognize individual tissues, and identify their locations in the body.

Activity 1: Virtual Histology Laboratory
The virtual histology laboratory will teach you the four basic tissue types, their structure, and function. The lab gives some examples of each type and their locations, but is not intended to be a comprehensive list.

Click on the lab and go through each of the four tissue types. Make sure you read all the provided information, as well as study the pictures.

Match the major tissue type with its characteristic (A-E). Each letter will only be used once.

1. Epithelial

2. Connective

3. Muscular

4. Nervous

A. Contractile

B. Lines structures

C. Communication

D. Extracellular matrix

Complete the table with the type, function, structure, and location for each tissue. The first tissue is completed for you as an example.
