Here's an example of what's due today

Body systems and tissues

Wed, Sep 23, 2026 · Week 5 · Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science)

Today's goal: Relate organ systems to tissue types and prepare for the PLTW morgue task.

What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Tissue types exit ticket

Completes: An exit ticket naming the four primary tissue types, one structural feature of each, and one organ that contains each, checking recall before microscopy.

Four tissue types, a feature, and an organ:

Epithelial: tightly packed cells that cover and line surfaces; found in the skin.
Connective: cells spread in a matrix that supports and binds; found in bone.
Muscle: long fibers that contract; found in the heart.
Nervous: branching cells that send signals; found in the brain.

Why it matters: organs are built from combinations of these four, so recognizing them is the first step a pathologist takes when reading a slide.

Tissue type	Feature	Organ example
Epithelial	Covers and lines surfaces	Skin
Connective	Matrix supports and binds	Bone
Muscle	Fibers that contract	Heart
Nervous	Cells that send signals	Brain

Also due today: Hand in your exit ticket before leaving class. Also complete the online master-the-morgue body-systems task.
