Student Objectives- Describe the general characteristics of each of the
four major categories of tissues. - Describe the functions of the types of epithelial
tissues with respect to the organs in which they
are found. - Describe the functions of the connective tissues,
and relate them to the functioning of the body or
a specific organ system. - Explain the differences, in terms of location and
function, among skeletal muscle, smooth muscle,
and cardiac muscle. - Name the three parts of a neuron and state the
function of each. Name the organs made of nerve
tissue. - Describe the locations of the pleural membranes,
the pericardial membranes, and the peritoneum-
mesentery. State the function of serous fluid in
each of these locations. - State the locations of mucous membranes and the
functions of mucus. - Name some membranes made of connective
tissue. - Explain the difference between exocrine and
endocrine glands, and give an example of each.
