AP TISSUE TYPES ACTIVITY

Name: ______

Procedure

1. Given access to the following tissue slides draw and identify each in the spaces provided (the number of each type is written next to the categories below).

2. Then, answer the questions that follow.

Observations

Epithelial Tissues (3)

Connective Tissues (4) Muscle Tissues (3)

Nervous Tissue (1)

Questions (Chapter 40) 1. Contrast the terms anatomy and physiology. Then, explain how they relate to natural selection.

2. Describe the significance of the body plan of the diploblastic cnidarians and the flattened platyhelminthes. What limitations do these plans have?

3. Describe the structure and functional characteristics of epithelial tissue.

4. How are epithelial tissues classified?

5. Describe the structure and functional characteristics of connective tissue.

6. Name and describe the fibers associated with connective tissue. 7. Name and describe important cells associated with connective tissue.

8. Identify and describe the basic function of the distinct categories of connective tissue.

9. Describe the structure and functional characteristics of muscle tissue.

9. Identify and describe the structural similarities and differences between the three major types of muscle tissue.

10. Describe the structure and functional characteristics of nervous tissue.

11. Give a detailed example of how the four separate tissues function collectively as an organ. 12. Relate the observations that Claude Bernard made, and explain how these early observations led to the concept of homeostasis.

13. Contrast animals that are considered regulators with those considered conformers.

14. Identify the components of a homeostatic system.

15. Contrast negative and positive feedback homeostatic mechanisms.
