CREATE YOUR OWN CONCEPT MAP ON BODY TISSUES

1. Start with your center concept - TISSUES OF THE BODY
2. Draw 4 arrows connecting to the four types of tissues found in the body.
3. From each tissue type, draw arrows (varies in number) to related types
4. For each you want to include linked concepts that describe the tissue type, indicate where it is located, and any additional related terms

This image might help get you started. You will need to copy this onto your own paper (unlined) and complete it.
