what they are staining, and why that helps the diagnosis).

For each of the major 4 classifications of tissue (epithelial, connective, nerve, and muscle), you need to come up with a disease associated with EACH of the 4. For the disease, you need to discuss its epidemiology, the histological characteristics of the disease compared to what the normal histology is, and the role histotechnologists play in helping diagnose it with focus on immuno histochemistry (IHC antibodies, what they are staining, and why that helps the diagnosis). For each tissue type, it should be no less than 1.5 pages double spaced. No images. For each completed portion, I will give 5 points to your previous exam, for a total of 20 possible points added to the previous exam. I will be running it through Turnitin to check for similarities between other papers. I expect a minimum of 3 references per tissue type. There is no rough draft for this so make sure it is entirely in your own words, if there are too many similarities in the Turnitin, I will not accept that portion of the extra credit.
