Laboratory Activity 2:
Cells and Tissues
1
, Introduction
The study of cells has been a vital portion of education in the field of science for it allows
individuals to understand its significance in the science of living. Cells determine the form
and functions of the human body, therefore it is essential to be knowledgeable of how they
work and how they affect the entirety of the human body. Furthermore, the body has a
biological make-up of trillions of cells which should influence individuals to study a cell’s
anatomy and physiology in order to be aware of the body’s holistic anatomy and physiology
(VanPutte et al., 2016, 42).
Since cells are also considered the basic living unit of all organisms, it progresses to forming
tissues which are important structures that build the organs, organ systems, and the
organism itself (VanPutte et al., 2016, 42). The processes involved in cell formation and
productions leads to production of tissues. Thus, both structures are large foundations of the
human organism and explain how they affect or are affected by their environment with a
biological perspective.
The laboratory activity, Cells and Tissues, is comprised of activities and tasks that allows the
participants to: (1) describe the cell cycle; (2) to identify the stages in the life cycle of a
particular cell; (3) to arrange into a correct sequence a set of models; (4) to create drawings of
cells in various stages of their life cycles; and, (4) to further understand structures of tissues.
The activity aims to achieve the aforementioned objectives to supply for the better
understanding and knowledge of cells and tissues.
