LAB HISTOLOGY 139 pts

LAB HISTOLOGY 139 pts INTRODUCTION: Tissues are masses of similar cells (and their extracellular matrix) that combine with other tissues to form membranes or organs. The systematic study of tissue types is called histology. There are four basic tissue types in humans. These four types are: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nerve tissue. Each of these four categories includes several subcategories, based on differences in structure and function. MATERIALS: ipad (objective app), microscope, histology slides, pencil, colored pencils PROCEDURE: 4 pts per sketch A. Drawings must be in order or no points will be assigned!

Application 18 points Imagine that you live 50 years in the future, and you can custom design a human to suit the environment. Your assignment is to customize the tissue makeup for life on a large planet with strong gravity; a cold, dry climate; and a thin atmosphere. What adaptations would you incorporate into the structure and/or amount of your tissues, and WHY?
