In this lab, I learned the different shapes and sizes of different cells in the body. I have only really looked at cells from a mouth swab, so seeing how even though all the cells in the body started as a small collection of cells, become so diverse. It was cool how cells from the same tissue type were similar but also had enough differences that you couldn't tell without knowing the tissue type prior. The size and shape of the cells helped to figure out the function of what the cells composed. For example, the cells in the blood smear slide were very populated but weren't touching to allow them to flow through the blood stream without clogging anything up. Or like how the lung tissue was shaped in an almost tubular fashion to allow oxygen to flow through the cells.
