A Tissue for My Issue

100

How many types of tissues are there?

4!

200

A group of cells that share a common function.

Tissue

300

This type of tissue conducts electrical signals and serves to control the body.

Nervous Tissue

400

The function of this tissue type is to move things.

Muscle Tissue

500

Name the four types of tissues.

Epithelial, Nervous, Muscular and Connective

I feel Nervous

100

What is the job of nervous tissues?

They conduct electrical signals

OR

They control the body.

200

What is a neuron?

A nerve cell.

300

Name one structure in the body where nervous tissues are found:

List one:  Brain, spinal chord, peripheral nervous system.

400

True or False:

Neurons act by conducting electrical signals through their axons.

True!

500

True or False:

Human Neurons are capable of cell division.

False.

I like to Move it Move it

100

Name the one type of tissue that does its job by shortening its cells.

Muscular tissues, this is known as muscle contraction.

200

True or False:  All of your muscles are under your voluntary control.

False.  

Are you controlling your heart beats right now?

300

Where is cardiac muscle found?

In the heart!

400

Name the 3 types of muscular tissues.

Skeletal, Cardiac and Smooth Muscle.

500

Name one place in the body where you would find smooth muscle.

Lining of the stomach and small intestine, lining of arteries, urinary bladder, uterus.

EVERYTHING has a silver lining

100

This tissue type lines the outside of the body and body cavities internally.  It also lines organs, ducts and glands.

Epithelial Tissue

200

How do you classify Epithelial Tissues?

By the shape and number of layers of the tissue.

300

These types of epithelial cells are cube shaped.

Cuboidal Epithelial Cells

400

These types of epithelial cells are taller than they are wide.

Columnar Epithelial cells.

500

This type of epithelium consists of flattened cells in a thick layer.

Simple Squamous Epithelium.

I feel like we have a connection.

100

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.

200

This loose space around epithelial cells consists of proteins, fluids, and other substances

Extra-cellular matrix

300

Which of the following is not an example of a connective tissue:

Blood, Bone, Cartilage, Muscle

Muscle is not a connective tissue.

400

A rigid connective tissue that provides support, attachments and cushion.

It's formed around chondrocytes.

Cartilage

500

This connective tissue is very rigid. It has a collage (protein) rich extracellular  matrix reinforced by minerals such as calcium phosphate.

Bone
