Which major tissue forms the brain and spinal cord?
Characteristics of Nervous Tissue. Nervous tissue is the main component of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
What major tissue allows for organ movements within the body?
Muscle tissue allows the body to move. Nervous tissues propagate information.
What muscle allows you to direct your eyeballs?
Unit 3: Tissues
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| allows you to direct your eyeballs | skeletal muscle |
| found in the walls of the stomach, uterus, and arteries | smooth muscle |
| contains spindle-shaped cells | smooth muscle |
| contains branching cylindrical cells | cardiac muscle |
What muscle tissue is the circulatory pump?
Cardiac muscle tissue
Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart, where it performs coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system.
What are the 3 types of nervous tissue?
Neurons, or nerves, transmit electrical impulses, while neuroglia do not; neuroglia have many other functions including supporting and protecting neurons.
Does connective tissue shorten with force?
The results suggest that in muscles rich in connective tissue, such as the taenia coli, external force production may not be an adequate measure of cross bridge interaction at short muscle lengths and may also limit shortening.
What type of muscle tissue has a single nucleus?
Smooth muscle cells
Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, have a single, centrally located nucleus, and lack striations. They are called involuntary muscles.
Which tissue type transmits electrochemical impulses?
tissue-study
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transmits electrochemical impulses | Nervous |
| Supports body organs | Connective |
| Cells of this tissue may absorb and/pr secrete substances | Epithelium |
| Basis of the major controlling system of the body | Nervous |
What allows for movement of limbs and for organ movements within the body?
The locomotor system is also known as the musculoskeletal system. It is made up of the skeleton, skeletal muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, cartilage and other connective tissue. These parts work together to allow your body to move.
What are the 12 tissue types?
Skeletal Muscle Tissue.
What is nervous tissue with diagram?
Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. These cells have three principal parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and one axon. The main part of the cell, the part that carries on the general functions, is the cell body.
What muscle tissue allows you to direct your eyeballs?
What are the two major classifications of membranes?
Two main categories of body membranes are epithelial and connective tissue membranes. Sub-categories include mucous membranes, serous membranes, synovial membranes, and meninges.
What tissue allows movement of the limbs of the body?
Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and its contraction makes possible locomotion, facial expressions, posture, and other voluntary movements of the body. Forty percent of your body mass is made up of skeletal muscle.
