Anatomy Histology Portfolio

Anatomy Histology Portfolio

Histology is the study of the appearance and behavior of tissues, usually carried out under a microscope. There are many different types of tissues which perform a wide range of functions. During this project, you will study many types of tissues and prepare a portfolio that showcases each tissue type.

This project will count as two test grades.

Each Histology Portfolio should include the following:

1.  Title page that includes a title for your project, name, and period.

-  Title should describe what can be found in the portfolio so should be informative, not “cute”

2.  Table of Contents, with each tissue type listed in the appropriate order with page numbers

3.  A page for each of the 17 tissue types that includes:

-  2 Pictures of the tissue – sources cited in the bibliography

-  Paragraph for each tissue type that includes four sentences. The first sentence should give a description of the shape of cell. The second sentence should explain the functions of the tissue. The third sentence should explain the locations in the body where this tissue type can be found. The fourth sentence should explain how the shape of the cell contributes to the function of the tissue.

-  Page Number in the bottom right corner

4.  Bibliography

-  Divided by each tissue type, Sources for each picture and information in your paragraph should be cited

*Do not include extra information. Follow the format given above. Simply compose a four sentence paragraph that includes the information above.

DO NOT COPY/PASTE information from the Internet. Use your own words.

Epithelial Tissue Example Page:

1.  Simple squamous Epithelium

2.  Simple cuboidal Epithelium

3.  Simple columnar Epithelium
