Tissues
Define Tissue
A group of cells that are similar in structure and perform a specific function
Muscle tissue contracts forcefully when excited, providing _______________?
Movement
What kind of tissue can be found in the brain, spinal cord, and in nerves?
Nervous Tissue
Which type of tissue represents the majority of cells in a plant?
Found in leaves and carries out photosynthesis and stores substances to help with plant repair.
Parenchyma Tissue
Which type of cell transports water from the roots up into the plant?
(Xylem or Phloem?)
Xylem Cells carry water!
Phloem- carry nutrients/sugars throughout the whole plant
What are the 4 types of human tissues?
1 Epithelial
2. Connective
3. Muscle
4. Nervous.
What kind of muscle tissue is voluntary, usually attached to the bone, and striated?
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
What kind of tissue can be found in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle?
Muscle Tissue
What type of tissue provides support to growing parts of a plant.
(They are elongated, have thick cell walls, and can grow and change shape as a plant grows.)
Collenchyma Tissue
Vascular Tissues move what throughout a plant?
Vascular tissue moves water and nutrients throughout the plant using phloem and xylem cells.
What kind of tissue binds the cells and organs of the body together?
Connective tissue
What kind of muscle tissue is non-striated, involuntary, and usually covers the wall of internal organs?
Smooth Muscle Tissue
What type of tissue can be found in tendons, bones, fat and other soft padding tissues?
Connective tissue
Where is the epidermis located on a plant?
The top layer. Helps with the absorption of water and dissolved minerals.
Different tissue groups working together to form a larger function is called what?
Organ
What kind of tissue uses electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses to communicate between different regions of the body?
Nervous Tissue
What kind of muscle tissue is striated, involuntary, and only found in the heart?
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
What kind of tissue can be found in the lining of the GI tract organs and other hollow organs and the surface of your skin?
Epithelial Tissue
What type of cell contains hard cells that are the main supporting cells in the areas of a plant that have stopped growing?
Sclerenchyma Tissue
Name an organ in a plant.
Leaves, Stem, and roots.
What kind of tissue covers the exterior surfaces of the body, line internal cavities and passageways, and form certain glands?
Epithelial Tissue
What kind of muscle tissue is the most common in the human body?
The majority of the muscles in your body are skeletal muscles.
They make up between 30 to 40% of your total body mass.
What kind of tissue is the most abundant in the human body?
Connective tissue
What kind of cells are dead and have very thick cell walls?
Sclerenchyma Tissue
Where can you find sclerenchyma tissue in a plant?
In the bark of a tree or a mature stem.
