A Tissue for My Issue
How many types of tissues are there?
4!
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
This type of tissue binds structures together, 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.
Connective Tissues.
A group of cells that share a common function.
Tissue
What is a neuron?
A nerve cell.
True or False: All of your muscles are under your voluntary control.
False.
Are you controlling your heart beats right now?
By the shape and number of layers of the tissue.
This loose space around epithelial cells consists of proteins, fluids, and other substances
Extra-cellular matrix
This type of tissue conducts electrical signals and serves to control the body.
Nervous Tissue
Name one structure in the body where nervous tissues are found:
Where is cardiac muscle found?
In the heart!
These types of epithelial cells are cube shaped.
Cuboidal Epithelial Cells
Which of the following is not an example of a connective tissue:
Blood, Bone, Cartilage, Muscle
Muscle is not a connective tissue.
The function of this tissue type is to move things.
Muscle Tissue
True or False:
Neurons act by conducting electrical signals through their axons.
Name the 3 types of muscular tissues.
Skeletal, Cardiac and Smooth Muscle.
These types of epithelial cells are taller than they are wide.
Columnar Epithelial cells.
A rigid connective tissue that provides support, attachments and cushion.
It's formed around chondrocytes.
Cartilage
Name the four types of tissues.
Epithelial, Nervous, Muscular and Connective
True or False:
Human Neurons are capable of cell division.
False.
Name one place in the body where you would find smooth muscle.
This type of epithelium consists of flattened cells in a thick layer.
Simple Squamous Epithelium.
This connective tissue is very rigid. It has a collage (protein) rich extracellular matrix reinforced by minerals such as calcium phosphate.
Bone
