Chapter 12: Neural Tissue - An Introduction to the Nervous System Learning Outcomes 12-1 Describe the anatomical and functional divisions of the nervous system. 12-2 Sketch and label the structure of a typical neuron‚ describe the functions of each component‚ and classify neurons on the basis of their structure and function. 12-3 Describe the locations and functions of the various types of neuroglia. 12-4 Explain how the resting potential is created and maintained. 12-5 Describe the events

Tissue Types Amy Chanda Morrison Colorado Christian University Our bodies have four different types of tissues. They are epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous. Each one has a specific job to do to keep the body in homeostasis. Patton stated “homeostasis is the relatively constant state maintained by the body” (pg.19). He also stated that “the precise and constant chemical composition of the internal environment must be maintained within very narrow limits‚ or sickness and death will result”

Tissue engineering By Nathan. F Introduction Tissue Engineering is the use of a combination of cells‚ engineering and materials methods‚ and suitable biochemical and physio-chemical factors to improve or replace biochemical functions. The objective of tissue engineering is to create living body parts that will fully integrate with the recipient’s body. Tissue engineering mostly associated with applications that repair or replace portions of or whole tissues. For example bone‚ cartilage

The lungs are made up of many types of tissue; the cartilages‚ ciliated epithelium‚ smooth muscle‚ squamous epithelium‚ elastic fibres and goblet cells and glandular tissue. The cartilage is a very stiff and flexible tissue‚ which doesn’t contain air vessels. It is found in trachea‚ bronchus‚ bronchiole and alveolus‚ and it has a structural role. It support‚ and gives strength to trachea and bronchi. It holds the airways open for the resistance with little airway. This prevents it from collapse

that "muscles only know tension." This view is overly simplistic. In reality‚ a number of factors must be taken into account. What degree of tension? What duration of tension? What frequency of tension? What kind of tension? Certainly passive tension isn’t as effective as active tension in packing on lean mass. Many believe that the continuous quest for increased maximal strength is the key to developing massive muscles. But while increased strength is definitely related to increased muscle cross

Chapter 6 Ossecous Tissue and Skeletal Structure The Skeletal system consists of bones and their associated connective tissues‚ including cartilage‚ tendon and ligaments. I. Function of the Skeletal System 1) Bone- The most rigid component of skeletal system a) Support- serves as a framework; Maintains body’s shape b) Protection- of critical internal organs‚ brain‚ heart and lungs c) Lever System- for muscles to produce body movements d) Mineral storage- e.g. Calcium and

Epithelial Tissue covers body surfaces (epi‚ on + thelium‚ surface). Epithelial tissue consists of cells attached to one another to form an uninterrupted layer of cells that separates the underlying tissues from the outside world. The body’s epithelium not only covers its obvious surfaces (such as the epidermis of the skin and the linings of respiratory‚ urinary‚ and digestive tracts) but also extends into all of the complex invaginations which form lungs‚ kidneys‚ sweat glands‚ digestive glands

Connective Tissue As the name implies‚ connective tissue serves a "connecting" function. It supports and binds other tissues. Unlike epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix. Loose Connective Tissue In vertebrates‚ the most common type of connective tissue is loose connective tissue. It holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. Loose connective tissue is named based on the "weave" and type

Connective Tissue Characteristics of connective tissues • Extracellular matrix separates cells • Most widely variable of tissues • Many varied functions • Common (mesenchyme) origin • Degrees of vascularity Functions • Binding • Suport • Protection • Insulation • Transport Structural Elements • Fibers ⁃ Collagen (white) fibres ⁃ Elastin (yellow) fibers ⁃ Reticular fibers • Ground substance ⁃ Amorphous material fills space between cells and contains fibers
