Columnar Connective Tissue

Task2: The main tissue types of the body and the role these play in two named organs of the body.

• *Describe the structure and list the functions of the various epithelial tissues, including glandular epithelium. Reference Table 5.5.

Smooth muscle is one of three muscle fiber types found in animals. Unlike skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, smooth muscle cells are not striated, and have single nuclei. Smooth muscles are typically under control of the autonomic nervous system, and do not contract voluntarily. Smooth muscle contracts slowly,

4. Organ level- Organs are made up of different types of tissues. Organ is a discrete structure composed of at least two tissue types that performs a specific function for the body.

types of muscle tissues : skeletal, cardiac, smooth. Each of these different tissues has the ability

58) Connective tissues that possess a large quantity of collagen fibers often provide the framework for organs such

Tissues: Tissues are groups of similar cells that have specific functions. In this piece of work I’ll talk about these types of cells:

3. Describe the primary functions of each type of body tissue and give examples of each.

There are three main types of muscle tissue in the body: Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Firstly, skeletal muscle has a stripped appearance when it is examined under a microscope so it is sometimes known as striated/stripped muscle. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and this means that it is under conscious control. Secondly, there is smooth muscle which is an involuntary muscle that operates without any conscious control. This muscle is controlled by the nervous system. Smooth muscle can be found in the blood vessels and the walls of the digestive system and it helps to control digestion and blood pressure. Lastly, there is cardiac muscle which is located in in the wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and this means that it is not under conscious control. This is made up of a specialised type of tissue which is striated and it has its own blood supply. The contractions aid the pumping of blood through the blood vessels

Tissues are groups of cells, which are placed together to achieve a common function. There are four main types of tissue: Epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous. Most of these tissues are found in our bodies, however the epithelial tissue is covered all over the surfaces of the body.

1-1: List the four types of tissue found in the human body and give an example of each.

The basic function of the connective tissue is to support, bind or connect all other types of tissues together in the body.Blood, cartilage, and bone are usually considered as connective tissue

1. List the 4 primary tissue types and give the general characteristics and functions of each one.

In this assignment I’m going to talk about the structure of the main tissues which are found within the body as well as what their role is in the terms of two named organs of the body. Tissues are a collection of similar cells that group together to carry out a specific function within the body. There are four different types of tissue found in the human body which include; epithelial tissue; connective tissue; muscle tissue and nerve tissue.

There are the Smooth, the Skeletal, and the Cardiac muscular tissues. Smooth muscles are made of spindle-shaped cells.
