By the end of this unit, you should be able to:
|
|
- list the characteristics of epithelial tissue - describe how the characteristics of epithelial tissue fit their location - identify the different epithelial shapes and layers - discuss the development and structure of a gland - distinguish between an exocrine and endocrine gland - list the components of connective tissue - explain the differences between fragile and strong connective tissue - draw the three different types of muscle tissue - compare the structural differences between the muscle types - compare the functional differences between the muscle types - draw a neuron and label its parts - make a general comparison between a neuron and a glial cell, including both structure and function |
