What are the 4 types of tissues are there?
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What is the job of nervous tissues?
They conduct electrical signals
OR
They control the body.
Name the one type of tissue that does its job by shortening its cells.
Muscular tissues, this is known as muscle contraction.
This tissue type lines the outside of the body and body cavities internally. It also lines organs, ducts and glands.
Epithelial Tissue
List three functions of connective tissue.
Provides support and protection, serves as frameworks within the body, fills spaces, stores fat, makes blood cells, protects against infections and helps repair tissue damage.
A group of cells that share a common function.
Tissue
What is a neuron?
A nerve cell.
Which muscles are under voluntary control?
Skeletal
By the shape and number of layers of the tissue.
A rigid connective tissue that provides support, attachments and cushion.
It's formed around chondrocytes.
Cartilage
Why does cartilage heal slower than other tissues?
Avascular - blood transfers nutrients for healing
Name one structure in the body where nervous tissues are found:
Where is each type of muscle found?
Cardiac - In the heart!
Smooth - blood vessels and around hollow organs
Skeletal - attached to bones
Name this type of epithelial tissue .
Transitional
What are the three types of connective tissue and at least one example of each?
Connective tissue proper - adipose, etc.
Fluid CT - Lymph and blood
Supporting - cartilage and bone
Name a function of each type of tissue.
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous Tissue (will vary)
Cells that support neurons.
Neuroglia
Why does Mr. Perez hand out gum to his students. Explain the physiology of this event.
Chewing Gum stimulates the the jaw muscles and increases the blood flow to the brain.
This type of epithelium lines kidney tubules.
Simple Cuboidal
What does the matrix consist of and what are the four types?
Protein fibers and ground substance, gelatinous, fibrous, fluid, and calcified
How do tissues repair and heal?
Regeneration - injured tissue is replaced by same type of cell.
Fibrosis- wound is repaired with scar tissue
Epithelium, connective tissues regenerate well, Cardiac muscle and nervous tissue are repaired by Fibrosis
Which part of the neuron communicates with other cells? other neurons?
axon terminal, dendrites
What are the differences between each of the three types of muscles?
In terms of cardiac muscles, what could be debated?
Skeletal Muscles- Voluntary , attached to skeleton
Cardiac Muscles - Involuntary
Smooth Muscle - Involuntary , walls of organs.
We can argue that Cardiac Muscle may be voluntary based case studies.
This type of epithelium lines the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, uterine tubes, and collecting ducts of kidneys.
Simple Columnar Epithelium.
These are the least common type of connective tissue fibers.
reticular fibers
