After completing the Tissue Lab, I was able to get a get a better understanding on the different types of cells and tissues. By seeing the nucleus and various organelles of the various tissues, I was able to make a connection between what I learned about the function of the tissue. While the connective and nervous tissue looked very smooth, it seemed to be very scattered. However, the muscle tissue had a clearly defined shape. The epithelial tissue seemed to be composed of several layers and had a distinct shape; however, it wasn't as distinct as the muscle tissue was.
For instance, the bone tissue resembled a large mass of cells instead of a single cell. Since bones play a vital role in supporting the body and controlling both involuntary and voluntary movement, the microscope image clarified the fact that bone cells are composed of several cells.
Similarly, the blood smear slide was composed of several dots that had a slight distance in between them. By being located throughout the body, the blood cells are able to transfer nutrient and hemoglobin throughout the body.
