Chapter 4: Tissue: The Living Fabric Introduction Unicellular (one-cell) organisms I - Operates independently Multicellular human body - Form cell communities that work together 2 Tissues - Cell groups that work together - Similar structure and function 3 Four primary tissue types 1. Nervous tissue 2. Muscle 4 3. Epithelial 4. Connective 4.1 Tissue samples are fixed, sliced, and stained for microscopy TEM List the steps involved in preparing animal tissue for microscopic viewing. Preserved Sliced Stained Light microscopy Colored synthetic dyes used to stain tissue. charged molecules bind within tissues. ⑦G ______________ Variations in cellular uptake of dyes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) - stained with heavy metal salts - color is a property of light, not of electron waves. - artificially colored Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), - three-dimensional - unsectioned tissue surface TEM SEM - artificially colored cilia 4.2 Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands. List several structural and functional characteristics of epithelial tissue.
