Neurons are cells that are involved in __________.

Responding to stimuli

Match the type of muscle tissue with its function: Smooth muscle

Allows hollow organs to contract and propel materials through them (digestive organs, reproductive organs, etc.)

Which are the two major cell types found in nervous tissue?

Neurons and supporting cells (glial cells or neuroglia)

Cardiac muscle tissue

You observe a muscle that has intercalated discs, and contracts under involuntary conditions. What type of muscle must this be?

Cardiac muscle

Match the following type of muscle tissue with its description: Skeletal muscle tissue
