Discussion

The different type of tissues in animal can be distinguish by observe the prepared
side under the compound microscope. All slide were examined so that, the structure
and the position of the tissue can be observed. Animal tissue is an internal structure
of animal that is made up of cells. Cells aggregate and formed tissues. There are
four types of basic tissues. They are epithelial tissues, connectives tissues, muscle
tissues and nervous tissues.

The epithelial tissues is covering and protective tissues in the animal body the
animal body. Its functions are covers most organs and cavities within the body and
forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate. The name of prepared slide
which is the type of epithelial tissues is simple cuboidal epithelium. The epithelial
tissues can be recognized by observing the structures. They are tightly packed and
form continuous sheet. There are three types of simple epithelium tissues, that is
cuboidal, columnar and squamous.

The next tissue is connective tissue. Connective tissue is loosely packed which may
be jelly-like, fluid, dense or rigid. Their functions are connect or binds the organs
and acts as filling or packing between organ. There are two types of connective
tissues

which

are

Loose

Connective

Tissue

(LCT)

and

Fibrous

Connective

Tissues(FCT). The example of connective tissue from the slide of experiment is

human bone tissue. Their structures are it was be jelly-like and rigid. It is also have
a fibers and unorganized.

The third type of tissue is muscle tissues. Muscle tissue consists of elongated cells.
It responsible for any movement in our body. Elongated cell present in muscular
muscle cell called as muscle fiber. There are some types of muscle fiber which are
smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. The name of slides that represented as muscle
tissues are striated muscle, smooth muscle human and cardiac muscle. Its
structures are long, cylindrical, no branched, multinucleate and also spindle-shaped.

The last tissue is nervous tissue. It is highly specialized tissue for transmitting
stimulus very rapidly. Its functions are transmits stimuli from one placed to another
place within the body and allows animal to move rapidly in response to stimuli. The
example of nervous tissue is peripheral nervous system. The structure or nervous
tissue is it has long thin hair-like parts.

There some precautions should be taken from this experiment. The first one is use
the lowest power (4x) first to observe tissues of animal cell. Then, switch it to the
higher power lens (10x, 40x and 100x). When the power is 100x, the immersion oil
must be used and drop it on the surface of the slide. To summarized, start on the
low power to the high power of objective lens of microscope. The other precaution is
always check the slide either it is clean and perfectly. If not, the slide can be
cleaned by prepared tissues from the laboratory. In studying of each tissue, the
structure is observed and the cells are draw and label according to their structure.
