Tissue Worksheet: Section A: Intro To Histology

This document provides an introduction to histology and the four basic types of tissues in the human body: epithelium, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues. It defines each tissue type and their functions. Epithelium tissues line and cover surfaces. Connective tissues protect, support, and bind together. Muscular tissues produce movement. Nervous tissues receive stimuli and conduct impulses. The document includes multiple choice questions to test understanding of the tissue types and their locations and functions in the body. Students are assigned to write a story about a tissue family reunion describing where each tissue lives and its job.

Section A: Intro to Histology


Cells are the smallest units of life. In complex organisms, cells group together with one another
based on similar structure and function to form tissues. Tissues provide the numerous functions of
organs necessary to maintain biological life. The study of tissues is called histology, and is
important to the understanding of how the human body is able to function as a unit. The human body
is composed of four basic types of tissues; epithelium, connective, muscular, and nervous
tissues.

 Epithelium- lines and covers surfaces


 Connective tissue- protect, support, and bind together
 Muscular tissue- produces movement
 Nervous tissue- receive stimuli and conduct impulses

1. Tissues are groups of similar cells working together to __.

a. increase the size and mass of structures b. perform common functions


c. deliver messages d. fight against disease

2. Which type of tissue would make up the majority of the brain and spinal cord? ____________________

3. Which type of tissue would be found in the epidermis and form the lining of internal organs such as the
intestines? ___________________

4. Which type of tissue would form ligaments, tendons, fat and bone? _______________________

5. Which type of tissue makes up majority of the heart? ________________________

Tissue Family Reunion Assignment

Your job is to write out a story about the Tissue Family Reunion which includes the
following family members: epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular. All of the tissues
have “Grown Up” and moved away from home. Each now lives in a new place and has
their own job and they have come home for the annual family reunion. Your job is to
write a story that details their conversation as they all get together and discuss where
they “live” and what they now “do.” It is your decision as to the format that you would
like to use. For example you could write a story in paragraph or script formats that
identifies the job and location of each tissue. To help with this process, you will want to
give each one of your tissues a name.

You will be assessed on:


Correctly identifying the location and examples of each tissue.
Correctly identifying the function of each tissue.
Correctly identifying characteristics of each tissue.
Extra points may be awarded on creativity.

Epithelial Tissue __________ out of 8 pts


Connective Tissue __________ out of 8 pts
Nervous Tissue __________ out of 8 pts
Muscular Tissue __________ out of 8 pts

Grade _______/32 pts.
