OVERVIEW of Connective Tissue Connective tissue forms a framework upon which epithelial tissue rests and within which nerve tissue and muscle tissue are embedded. Blood vessels and nerves travel through connective tissue. Connective tissue functions not only as a mechanical support for other tissues but also as an avenue for communication and transport among other tissues. Most significantly‚ connective tissue is the stage for inflammation. The principal cell types involved in immunological

Toward a New Vision: Race‚ Class‚ and Gender as Categories of Analysis By: Patricia Hill Collins Summary- The author writes about oppression in society and how it is full of contradictions.

Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially
