Epithelium
What is the location of the Epithelium tissue?
Lines both the outside (skin) and the inside cavities and lumina of bodies.
What is the location of the Connective tissue?
The superficial of dermal skin, blood vessels, nerves, and body organs.
What is the location of the smooth muscle tissue?
Walls of hollow visceral organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestine.
What is the Location of the Nervous tissue?
It is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Who discovered the Epithelium?
Frederik Ruysch
They have a cuboidal shape and a curved apical surface that bulges into the lumen, giving them a large and rounded appearance.
Describe what hyaline cartilage looks like.
Shiny, white semi-transparent appearance with a slightly blueish tinge.
Describe what Cardiac muscle looks like.
Striated or striped under a microscope
Describe what Neurons look like.
It resembles a small tree with fine hair-like structures arising from its terminals.
What does connective tissue make?
Tendons and ligaments. Consist of a higher density of collagen fibers.
What are the other functions of Epithelium Tissue?
it protects the higher number of layers. The more protective it is.
What are the other functions of the Connective System?
It supports and connects tissues.
What are the other functions of the Muscular Tissue?
Movement
What are the other functions of the Nervous Tissue?
It monitors and regulates the functions of the body.
What are the three parts of a neuron?
Cell body, Dendrites, and single axon
What are the characteristics of the Epithelium?
Cell sheets and cellularity, cell junction, polarity, basement membrane, high regeneration, nerve innervation, and lack of blood vessels.
What are the characteristics of a Connective tissue?
It supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body.
What are the characteristics of the Muscular tissue?
Excitability, Contractibility, Elasticity, Extensibility
What are the characteristics of the Nervous Tissue?
It consists of the dendrites, cell body, axon, and nerve endings.
What is the difference between tendons and ligaments?
A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
