Muscle, Nervous, Connective, and Cartilage Tissue Overview for Biology

PT2

What are the three types of muscle tissue?

Smooth, cardiac, skeletal

Which muscle tissue is completely voluntary?

Skeletal

Which muscle tissue pumps blood?

Cardiac

Which muscle tissue is found in the urinary bladder and digestive tract?

Smooth

What is peristalsis?

Contracts slowly

What happens to a muscle when it contracts?

Tightens, shortens, develops tension (creates movement)

What is the order from largest to smallest in muscle structure?

Muscle, fascicle, muscle fiber

List three characteristics of skeletal muscle.

Multi-nucleated, peripherally located nuclei, striations

List three characteristics of cardiac muscle.

Centrally located nucleus, striations, branch/interconnected

List three characteristics of smooth muscle.

Centrally located nucleus, no striations, involuntary

What is a function of skeletal muscle?

Movement, posture, produce heat

What is the main function of nervous tissue?

Sensory, integration, motor

What is a motor neuron responsible for?

Brain sends message to muscles/glands causing a response

What is a sensory neuron responsible for?

Gathers information from outside world to send to brain

What is the difference between the central and peripheral nervous system?

Central: brain and spine; Peripheral: nerves

Where are the brain and spinal cord classified?

Central nervous system

What are neuroglial cells?

Glial cells that fill spaces between neurons and support them

What are the parts of a neuron?

Dendrites, soma, axon, axon terminal

What tissue covers internal and external body surfaces?

Epithelial tissue

What tissue has an extracellular matrix and supports/connects body structures?

All connective tissues

What tissue causes body movement?

Muscle tissue

What tissue is responsible for sensory input, integration, and motor output?

Nervous tissue

What type of epithelial tissue has many layers of flat cells?

Stratified squamous

What type of epithelial tissue has one layer of flat cells specialized for diffusion?

Simple squamous

What type of epithelial tissue has one layer of cube-shaped cells?

Simple cuboidal

What type of epithelial tissue appears layered but is actually one layer?

Simple pseudostratified
