NOTE:  I will not be going through all of these slides in detail since you have covered much of this information in lab.

 

SO, KNOW YOUR TISSUES!! 

 

You will definitely be expected to know all of the information in chapter 4 for the first lecture examination on 8 October.

 

In lecture, I will be placing greater emphasis on embryonic membranes (page 145 and pages 1123 - 1126 and Table 28.1), the cells and ground substance of connective tissues (pages 127 - 130), tissue repair (pages 142 - 144) and the regenerative capacity of tissue.
