Types of Tissue
What are the four types of tissue in the body?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
What is tissue composed of?
A group of cells specialized in performing the same function in a coordinated manner
What is a body apparatus?
A group of heterogenous organs (made up of different types of tissue) that perform a common general function
What is a body system?
A group of homogeneous organs (made up of the same type of tissue) that perform a common general function
What is an organ?
Different types of tissue that associate to carry out a specific function
What are the two types of epithelial tissue?
Lining Epithelia and Glandular Epithelia
What is the function of connective tissue?
Connective tissues support, bind, and protect the body's other tissues
What is the composition and function of the locomotor apparatus?
The locomotor apparatus is formed by the body's bones and muscles, and it is responsible for body movement.
What are the types of body systems?
The blood, skeletal, muscular, endocrine, nervous, lymphatic, and immune systems.
What three common structures do prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells share?
They share the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material.
What are the three types of muscular tissue?
Smooth, striated, and cardiac muscle tissue
What is the function of epithelial tissue?
Epithelial tissue is responsible for lining and protecting the internal and external surfaces of the body.
What are the types of body apparatus?
The circulatory, locomotor, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive apparatuses
What is the composition and function of the endocrine system?
The endocrine system is composed of different glands and hormones that are responsible for regulating the functioning of the different organs in the body.
What components form the lympathic system?
The lympathic system is made up of organs, ganglia, and lymphatic vessels.
What are the four types of connective tissue?
Blood, cartilaginous, adipose, and bone tissue.
What is the function of muscular tissue?
Muscle cells (fibers) have cytoplasm rich in protein fibrils, which enable muscle contraction and relaxation
What is the composition and function of the urinary apparatus?
The urinary apparatus is made up of the kidneys and the urinary tracts. It is responsible for eliminating toxic substances from the body that result from cellular metabolism.
What is the composition and function of the nervous system?
The nervous system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating the organism in response to stimuli.
What is the composition and function of the cell nucleus?
The nucleus houses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. It is made up of the nuclear envelope, nuceloplasm, the nucelolus, and chromatin.
What are the two main types of nervous tissue cells and their functions?
1. Neurons have branched extensions that facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses
2. Glial Cells protect, nourish, and assist neurons
What is the function of nervous tissue?
Nervous tissue is responsible for receiving internal and external stimuli, processing this information, and generating a response.
What is the composition and function of the circulatory apparatus?
The circulatory apparatus is made up of the blood system and the lympathic system. It is responsible for distributing nutrients and O2 throughout the body and colelcting waste substances such as CO2.
What is the composition and function of the immune system?
The immune system is made up of setoforgans, which form the cells and molecules involved in the body's defense.
What characterizes the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane forms the boundary between the cell's interior and the its exterior. It is composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins and carbohydrates oriented outward. The membrane is selectively permeable.
