Note: Chapter 3 in "Hole's" deal with cells and the processes that occur in cells. Since all of you have taken biology, I will not be covering this information in class. You should be prepared to match the organelle with its primary function. Since it has been a while, if you do not feel confident in this task, it is suggested that you read Chapter 3 as a refresher. Chapter 5 in "Hole's" is where I will be focusing. Your studies should also be focused here.

By the end of the chapter you should have the following completed:

1. Be able to define and give an example when appropriate of:
Epithelium, apical surface, basement membrane, squamous, cuboidal, columnar, simple epithelium, stratified epithelium, simple squamous epithelium, simple cuboidal epithelium, simple columnar epithelium, goblet cells, pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, stratified squamous non-keratinized, stratified squamous keratinized, transitional epithelium, Connective tissue, extracellular matrix, ground substance, collagen fibers, elastic fibers, reticular fibers, areolar (loose) connective, adipose connective, elastic connective
2. The meaning of the following root words/affixes should be learned: adip-, chondr-, -cyt, epi-, -glia, inter-, macro-, oss-, pseudo-, squam-, strat-
3. The following reading is assigned. It should be read with the goal of being able to discuss/explain the information contained in them.

4. Be able to identify tissue/cell types when seen in the microscope. You will be tested on this in a practical exam. In a practical exam, you will have to observe actual microscope slides and identify the tissue types and what organ/part of the body you are looking at. Your practical will cover simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, stratified squamous (keratinized and nonkeratinized), areolar connective tissue, collagenous connective tissue, hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage . In addition to identification of cells/tissue, a portion of each test will be on the notes given during that section of the material.
5. Tell where tissue/cell types are found in the body.
6. Give the function of tissue/cell types when appropriate.
7. Lab associated with this material:
Self directed microscopic examination of each tissue type and completion of a Histology “notebook”. Each tissue/cell type studied should be drawn as viewed under 3 different powers, where it is located in the body should be indicated as well as identifying characteristics. Also for each drawing, the power of magnification should be noted. Histology “notebook” will be turned in when the test over the chapter is taken. Click on the Histology Notebook link to access the rubric for grading. Other tissues will be added to your notebook when we study the parent tissues.
8. Know all material covered in class notes.
9. It is suggested you strongly consider attending open lab night before each test. You cannot learn to identify these cell types/tissues just from class work alone. You are also encouraged to stay after school for extra time with the slides.
10. You may wish to access the chapter specific activities for additional review beyond the open lab session. The Hole's sight has a pretty good lab practical review. You will find these links by clicking on the Histology links button to the left.
