of meat Meat is the flesh of an animal used for food according to “the little oxford dictionary”. The connective tissue cells are joined together into bundles by two types of connective tissue. White and yellow connective tissue‚ the white connective tissues are called collagen‚ is found in all the muscles of the animal; it is dominant in the more tender cuts of meat. Yellow connective tissue; called elastin‚ it is predominant in the muscles which carry the heaviest load of constant strain and work

Task2: The main tissue types of the body and the role these play in two named organs of the body. P2: Outline the structure of the main tissues of the body There are many different types of cells in the human body. These cells would not be able to function on their own‚ they are all part of a large organism that is called - you. The two named organs that I have chosen for this assignment are the intestines and the heart. Tissues All cells group together within the body to form tissue‚ a collection

A nonliving material‚ called the intercellular matrix‚ fills the spaces between the cells ii. What can be found in this material? The intercellular matrix may contain special substances such as salts and fibers that are unique to a specific tissue and gives that tissue distinctive characteristics iii. List the four types of tissue. Four main tissue types in the body: epithelial

of flattened sacs receives and processes protein that has been dispatched by the endoplasmic reticulum. The proteins are modified and released at the cell membrane. P2 There are four main types of tissue: epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous. [pic] Epithelial tissue is found in skin and in diverse forms has special functions in other areas of the body. The main types are: simple epithelium‚ a single layer of squamous (flat)‚ cuboidal (cube like)‚ or columnar (tall) cells;

The stratified epithelium secrets water and ions. Columnar Epithelium The simple columnar absorbs nutrients and produces mucus. It can be found in digestive organs e.g. small intestine. The stratified columnar secrets mucus

Distinguish among the four tissue types found in the human body. Provide an example of each type with its function and location. Epithelial tissue covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. The major function of epithelial tissue includes protection‚ secretion‚ absorption‚ and filtration. The skin is an organ made up of epithelial tissue which protects the body from dirt‚ dust‚ bacteria and other microbes that may be harmful. Cells of the epithelial tissue have different shapes

BIOS251 Week 3 Lab Exercise Tissues and Integumentary System 1. Describe the characteristics of epithelial tissue. (5 points) The most basic characteristics of the epithelial tissue is that it covers the surfaces of the body whether internal or external. It acts as a protective covering or boundary for such surfaces‚ including the outer layer of the skin‚ as well as the inner surface of the hallow organs like the stomach‚ colon‚ and blood vessels. Other characteristics is that it is made
