Anatomy There
will be two tests in this section on Histology. One will
focus on lecture notes on epithelial tissues and the other
will be a lab practicum on epithelial tissues. Use the
resources wisely and complete the tasks as
presented. 1.
The best
text for the study of the tissues is to be found at the
McGraw-Hill site Tissues
of the Human Body:An Introduction.
Use the text and graphics here as you would any textbook to
give you the background information you need to uderstand
the fundamentals of tissues. Below is another excellent
tutorial that uses light micropgraphs to explain the
characteristics of of epithelial
tissue: 2.

Read
the information on cancer from a few excellent sites. Some
of the information is quite technical on cell function, but
if you are to get an understanding of how the disease
functions these details are essential. Examine the sites in
order and critically analyze and assess their
data. This link is an
excellent selection of course topics on Intermediate
Genetics offered at North Dakota State University. There is
much here to investigate if you have an interest in
genetics. At the very bottom of the Course Topics chart is
The
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle and the Genetics of
Cancer.
This is a technical presentation and will require some
concentration and perhaps further research at other links to
pick up a basic understanding of some of its more complex
ideas. The effort, however, will be worth it for you to
understand the inticacies of this disease. The program
entitled Cancer
Warrior
has been placed online at the NOVA website. It features
streaming video of the program, excellent animations and
links relating to cancer. It doesn't get any better than
this for education and you can see here the true power of
technology to teach as the internet matures. Check it
out! Note on the
same page the Flash program
How
Cancer Grows.
This is
an excellent synopsis of the development of cancer
explaining the mutations that must occur for a cell to be
classified as malignant. 4.
An
Interview with Paul
Nurse:
Paul
Nurse is one of Britain's most distinguished scientists
today. His groundbreaking work on the cell cycle in the
1970s and '80s revealed how cells make the decisions to grow
and divide, thus laying the foundation for a molecular
understanding of cancer. This has earned him numerous
honors, including the Lasker Basic Medical Research Award in
1998, and many regard him a prime candidate for the Nobel
Prize. Since 1996 Sir Paul, who was knighted last year, has
also been director-general of the largest cancer research
organization in the U.K., the Imperial Cancer Research Fund
(ICRF). Epithelium Introduction

Loyola
University's Medical Education Network Go to the
Loyola site and examine the Epithelium and Simple Glands
slides. There will be a portion of your Lab Practicum
that will use a random selection of these slides for you
to identify. I will
choose anywhere from 6 to 12 of the following slides for
you to identify. Here is the number list for the slides
that you will examine and from which I will make my
selection for the practicum. Copy and Paste the pictures
into a file, or a Power Point Presentation, and use it as
a study document to test yourself and your study
partners. Don't forget to
take the Practical Examinations on the Loyola site after you
think you have a grasp of the tissues. The
slide trays in the lab are organized in the following order
with the slides number 1 thru 6: 1.
Stratified Squamous-Skin 2.
Pseudostratified Ciliated
Columnar-Trachea 3.
Stratified Transitional-Bladder 4.
Simple Columnar-Stomach and Intestines 5.

to examine normal epithelial tissue and pathogical
conditions of the same tissue. This is an opportunity to see

presentation folder on the desk top you will find the
presentation Connective-Muscle Lab Key. This presentation
contains the pool of specific slides with descriptions that
will be used on the next lab practicum. You should be able
to identify and classify twelve to fifteen of these slides,
chosen at random, on the next lab exam. These slides have
come from the JayDoc
site at the University of Kansas
(Muscle-Connective-Cartilage-Bone-Blood) and can be viewed
there at any time. 6. Here's a

The graphics and descriptions are excellent and thias
will be a great site to back up the online

You
must be able to name the type of epithelial cells in
the target tissue, the organ it is found in, and the
function of the tissue.
