Tissue Structures

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

2-1: What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue? _Polarity, Specialized contacts, Supported of connective tissue, Avascular but innervated, Regeneration___

Smooth muscle- Smooth muscle is also sometimes known as Involuntary muscle due to our inability to control its movements, Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs such

Connective tissue - Connective tissues holds and binds everything together which are found all around the body. This type of tissue is also called fibrous connective tissues as they are consisting of a lot of fibres eg. Collagen and Elastin.

Skeletal muscles allow the bones to move; smooth muscles aid in digestion; cardiac muscles pump blood throughout the body.

What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue? it never has contact with another cell, it always has a free surface. They contain no blood vessels (avascular) and depend on underlying tissues for needed nutrients and oxygen sources to maintain homeostasis. it is usually very thin for this reason. The cells are tightly packed together. composed almost entirely of cells. apical and basal surfaces

The 4th tissue is the nerve tissue which it is composed of neurons and neuroglia. The function of the neurons are to receive and conduct electrical signals and the neuroglia is to have support functions providing insulation to the axons. Furthermore the neuroglia and the neurons are both included in the central nervous system and peripheral system. What makes this tissue special is that neurons and neuroglia helps to revive signals with also proving the insulations.

There are two types of nervous system cells, they receive and send electrochemical responses to the body. Neuron cells are the conducting cells of the nervous system. Neurons have a cell body with dendrites branching from the main body, an axon which is the long tail that extends from the main body that is wrapped in myelin to create a protective sheath around the axon that also helps speed the neurotransmissions. The glial cell is the supporting cells of the

Each cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscles are special and different in their own way. Cardiac muscles are found in the heart. They are involuntary muscles which means that people cannot control them. Skeletal muscles are connected to bones by tendons to work with the skeletal system. Some examples are the tricep, bicep, quadricep, and the deltoid.

In this assignment i will be describing Epithelial and connective tissues, the organs where they are found and their roles.

All muscle tissue is composed of muscle fibers which are really muscle cells. There are three types of muscles: Skeletal muscle Skeletal muscle is found attached to and covering bones. They are classified as skeletal, striated, voluntary muscles.

Many different types of vertebrates, whether it be animal or human, contain three distinct types of muscles: cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle, that can be assessed and differentiated by their function and morphology. Cardiac muscle, also deemed heart muscle, is an involuntary and striated type muscle that is responsible for the pumping of blood throughout the body. This process confirms that tissues get enough oxygen that help them to regulate homeostasis in the body. Smooth muscle is found in many organs such as blood vessels and its primary function is to assist in the movement of materials in and out of the body. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary type of muscle, meaning you can consciously control what you do (Rayment et

The nervous tissue is the main component of the two parts, the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system. The nervous system is the response for signalling it stimulates the muscle contraction and create an awareness of the environment.

Smooth muscle is also referred to as the involuntary muscle, a muscle like this shoes no cross or stripes under a microscope. It consists of a narrow spindle shape, the nucleus is located centrally. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs like the stomach and intestines. The smooth muscle contracts automatically without the person being aware of them they are also slow contractions. When the walls are contracted it pushes the food to be pushed down the intestines. This assists digestion. In a woman the smooth muscle is in the uterus which will assist them to push babies out during childbirth. The bladder muscle also contract which helps urine
