Levels of organisation in the human body

  • Tissues

  • Epithelial tissue

  • Nervous tissue

  • Muscle tissue

  • Connective tissue

2
New cards

Tissues

Groups of similar cells and their extracellular products organized to perform a common function

3
New cards

Epithelial tissue

Covers body surfaces, lines cavities, forms glands, the internal and external lining of many organs and body tubes

4
New cards

Nervous tissue

Receives, transmits & integrates information to control body activities

5
New cards

Muscle tissue

Responsible for movement and support of body parts,
movement of materials within the body

6
New cards

3 Types of Muscle Tissue

  1. Skeletal: helps move body segments

  2. Smooth: helps move food along the digestive tract

  3. Cardiac: Heart beat helps move blood around the body

7
New cards

Connective tissue

Protects other tissues, storage of fats and minerals, binds together other tissues, support organs structurally and functionally

8
New cards

4 Types of Connective tissue

  • Loose

  • Bone

  • Cartilage

  • Fibous

9
New cards

Made up of a large number of bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibres (muscle cells), surrounded by connective tissue

Module 4: Lecture 3, Muscles in Action

12
New cards

Type 1:

Slow oxidative, slow twitch, low force, fatigue resistant

13
New cards

Type IIA:

Fast oxidative, Intermediate twitch and fatigability

14
New cards

Type IIB:

Fast Glycolytic, Fast twitch, more force, fatigues quickly

15
New cards

Types of contraction

  • Concentric – muscle shortening
    during the contraction

  • Isometric – whole muscle length stays the same
    (or very close to) during the contraction

  • Eccentric – muscle lengthens
    during the contraction
