1) Comparing and contrasting cardiac Muscle tissue (figure a) and brain tissue (figure d)
Commonalities in the structures and functions of muscle tissue and brain tissue
In cardiac muscle, a single nucleus is located in the middle of each fibre. The brain tissue also has a nucleus which is located in the middle of cell body. The cardiac muscle and brain tissue don’t have the exact same function. The cardiac muscle and the brain tissue don’t work together because the cardiac muscle doesn’t takes any instructions from the brain tissue (Neurones). This means that the cardiac muscle contracts automatically.
Differences in the structures, functions and location of muscle tissue and brain tissue
The cardiac muscle consists of long branched fibres. Whereas, the brain tissue has spider web like structure. The cardiac muscle cell are made up of fibres. The function of cardiac muscle is to help the heart to pump blood. The function of brain tissue is to send messages to and from the brain. The cardiac muscle is present inside the heart. However, the brain tissue is located inside brain.
2) Comparing and contrasting loose Connective tissue (figure c) and simple cuboidal epithelial tissue (figure b)
Commonalities in the structures and functions of loose connective tissue and simple cuboidal epithelial tissue
The cells in simple cuboidal epithelium have a nucleus. The cells in loose connective tissue also have nuclei. Although the loose connective tissue and simple cuboidal

How does the structure of cardiac myocytes and intercalated disks follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue
The Myocardium is made up of specialised cardiac muscle, only found in the heart and is not under voluntary control.
1) The proximal tubule of the nephron (kidney tubule) in the kidney is composed of which type of epithelium? simple cuboidal epithelium Yes, the simple cuboidal cells line the kidney tubules (nephrons) so that secretion and absorption can take place.
12. What are the 3 types of cartilage and where would you find each type?
Epithelial are the lining of internal and external surfaces and body cavities, including tubes/channels (ducts) carrying secretions from glands. Epithelial tissues can be made of several layers of cells (called compound epithelia), or a single layer known as simple epithelia. The lowest layer of cells is attached to the basement membrane for support and connection. Part of the basement
Cardiac muscle-The cardiac muscle is the heart, it is responsible for pumping blood around the body. It is made up of cardiac muscle and is the only location in the body where such muscle is found, Unlike other muscles, cardiac muscle is almost completely reliant on oxygen to function, Cardiac muscle is an involuntary muscle that is present in the heart and helps to synchronize the beating of the organ.the cardaic muscle is very strong and it resiatnt fatigue, The cardiac muscle is found in the walls of the heart and is responsible for keeping the heart pumping.
The heart is a very strong muscle that has one major job. The heart’s job is to pump blood throughout the entire body. The heart is made up of 4 chambers, and 4 valves. There is the right and left atrium, and a right and left ventricle. The atriums are the superior chambers, and the ventricles are inferior chambers. The left ventricle is the most important, because that is where the blood travels through to go to the aorta, and eventually the rest of the body (Taylor 2015).
The second type of tissue found in the body is connective tissue. They lie beneath the epithelial tissue helping to connect different part of the internal structure, the cells are more widely separated from each other then in epithelial tissue. The intercellular substance known as the matrix is found in considerably large amounts. Within the matrix there are usually fibres which may be a jelly like consistency or dense and rigid depending on the type, function and positioning of the tissue. Theses fibres form a supporting system for cells to attach to. The major functions of connective tissue are to transport materials, give structural support and protection. The types of connective tissue that will be explained are blood, bone, cartilage, bone, areolar tissue and adipose tissue.
As well as the skeletal and cardiac muscle having many similarities, they also have differences. The main difference is the location of these two muscles. The cardiac muscle is found in the walls of the heart however the skeletal muscle is attached to the bone by tendons. This is because they have different functions. The skeletal muscle needs to be attached to the bones as its function is to produce movement of the body and the cardiac muscle is to pump blood around the body.
6. Automaticity – ability of heart to beat spontaneously and repetitively without external neurohormonal control. The heart is capable of beating outside the body, given proper laboratory conditions. Automaticity is evidently linked to fluid and electrolyte balance rather than to nervous system control.
As the name implies, connective tissue serves a "connecting" function. It supports and binds other tissues. Unlike epithelial tissue, connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix.
Our heart is a muscle. It's located a little to the left of the middle of our chest, and it's about the size of our fist. There are lots of muscles all over our body — in our arms, in our legs, in our back etc. But the heart muscle is special because of what it does. The heart sends blood around our body. The blood provides our body with the oxygen and nutrients it needs. It also carries away
