Four. Epithelial, Connective, Muscular and Nervous
1 of 32
Epithelial tissue covers..
Body surfaces, hollow organs, body cavities, ducts and glands
2 of 32
Connective tissue..
Protects body and organs, binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat and provides immunity against diseases
3 of 32
Muscular tissue..
Generates force needed to make body structures move and generate body heat
4 of 32
Nervous tissue..
Detects changes inside and outside the body, responding with nerve impulses that activate muscular contractions and glandular secretions
5 of 32
Tissues can be..
Hard (bone), Semisolid (fat), Liquid (blood)
6 of 32
Epithelial tissue cells?
Packed tightly together, single or multiple layers
7 of 32
Functions of epithelial tissue?
Protects from dehydration, chemical and physical damage, secretion and absorption
8 of 32
What supports epithelial cells?
Connective tissue, which also provides blood supply and through diffusion connective tissue provides nutrients and removes waste
9 of 32
Connective tissue functions?
Binds, supports, strengthens body tissues, protects and insulates, compartmentalises structures, blood transport system, stores energy reserves, immune response role
10 of 32
Connective tissue is highly vascular, except..
Cartilage and tendons
11 of 32
Material between connective tissue cells?
Extracellular matrix
12 of 32
Types of connective tissue cells?
Fibroplasts, fat cells, macrophages, WBC, plasma cells and mast cells
13 of 32
Loose connective tissue types?
Areolar, adipose and teticular tissues
14 of 32
Dense connective tissue types?
Fibrous tissue and elastic tissue
15 of 32
Connective cartilidge?
Hyaline, fibre and elastic tissues
16 of 32
Liquid connective tissue?
Blood and lymph
17 of 32
Muscular tissue?
Skeletal, smooth and cardiac tissue
18 of 32
Muscular tissue requires?
Oxygen, calcium, nutrients and blood supply
19 of 32
Types of muscle cells?
Elongated shape. They use ATP to generate force
20 of 32
Skeletal muscle shape?
Striated
21 of 32
Skeletal muscle is voluntary or involuntary?
Voluntary - under concious control
22 of 32
Skeletal muscle contraction is stimulated by the?
Motor nerve impulses from brain or spinal cord (and end at the neuromuscular junction)
23 of 32
Cardiac muscle?
Heart muscle only, striated and involuntary
24 of 32
Cardiac muscle is influenced by?
Some hormones, and has pacemaker system
25 of 32
Smooth muscle appearance?
Bundles of fibres that are visceral, non striated and involuntary
26 of 32
Smooth muscle can initiate..
Own contractions through nerve impulses
27 of 32
Smooth muscle functions..
In walls of hollow organs 1) regulates diameter of blood vessels and responsible system, 2) propels and expels contents
28 of 32
Nervous tissue functions?
Main component of the nervous system - regulates and controls body functions
29 of 32
Nervous system contains two cells..
Neurons and supporting cells
30 of 32
Supporting cell functions?
Support, insulate and protect neutrons
31 of 32
Neurons functions?
Generate and conduct nerve impulses
