kp+Tissues+Project

The tissues project (as seen above) was completed in the first quarter of my anatomy and physiology class. It was the very first project we received.This project took a lot of time to complete. You had to work every day possible outside of class or you wouldn’t be able to complete it in time for the due date. The tissues project consisted of three or four part, however you would like to look at it. The first part we had to do was create a story board which was almost an outline of what our project was going to be. Below is a short example of the story board.


 * 1. Tissues (slide 1)**

 * Text**- •Tissue is a group of similar cells in structure and function. • Four different types of tissues. •Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nerve • Tissues align things to cover and protect them.


 * Sound**- A tissue is a group of similar cells in structure and function. There are four different types of tissues. They are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nerve or nervous tissue. The purpose of tissues is to align things, cover things and protect them as well.

The text was a summary of what we had to say for the sound. The second thing we had to was record all of the sound that was going to be on all of our slides (the sound was unable to be uploaded onto the slide show above). For the sound we had to sit at our computers, practice what we were going to say a couple of times, and then hope it would sound perfect as we recorded it. If there was one little error we had to go back and do it again. Soon we figured out that we were able to go through the clip of sound and edit out our little blip of an error. We also had to go through slides of tissues under a microscope (pictures completed with Lydia Heter) and take actual pictures of the types of tissues. This, of course, was after all of the agony of having to find a good section to take a picture of and then having to be able to focus the microscope as well as the camera properly. After all of this was completed we ended up with 37 slides of hard work (along with credits). This was the first major grade of the quarter.

This project had a major impact on my understanding of tissues. It taught me how tissues protect the important structures in the human body. They compact, stretch, and form to the different aspects of our bodies to perform their indicated functions. Next time I get a scratch I will have a flashback of all of the work I did for this project and what I learned. I will stare at it and wonder what type of tissues lie beneath the surface of the scratch and remember how the tissues will protect below the scratch. I will love being able to share my knowledge since I will no longer be using it for my profession. This project not only taught me about tissues, but how to manage time very well. Completing this project was very crucial to my grade. This project emotionally affected me. I thought I had erased the whole project (which I did as I was trying to complete it) so I literally had to start all over.

I believe that next year I will efficiently be able to help the younger students who are enrolled in anatomy and physiology. I plan on being able to know my knowledge and maybe even share it with my kids someday. It would be funny if before they even went to pre-school i taught them about tissues and they wowed their teacher with their knowledge. Theres not too much I can do with this information since my desired career changed. It is still really cool information to know. You never know I could get onto Jeopardy and they can ask what the types of tissues are. If I get the question right I'll give a shout out to my teacher Mr. Orr.
