Muscle tissue Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. There are other movements in the body too which are necessary for the survival of the organism such as the heart beat and the movements of the alimentary canal. Muscles can be divided into three main groups according to their structure * Smooth muscle tissue. * Skeletal muscle tissue. * Cardiac (heart) muscle tissue.

September‚ 2013 Tissue Ownership “I think people are morally obligated to allow their bits and pieces to be used to advance knowledge to help others” (Korn). Different people have opposing opinions on the topic of whether or not patients or doctors own the body tissues after it’s been removed from the patient. Ownership is the act‚ state‚ or right of possessing something. Tissue ownership is different from ownership because once it leaves your body‚ you no longer own it. Contributing your tissues to the

It is more just rambling on and then this happened and then this happened. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been

the four tissue types found in the human body. Describe an example of each type with their function and location. The four main tissues in the human body are connective‚ epithelium‚ muscle and nervous tissue. Connective tissue is an abundant nonliving extracellular matrix‚ located throughout the human body; such as the head‚ tendons‚ bone‚ and many more. It is the most widespread tissue in the human body and is the most durable tissue type. There are so many functions for this tissue‚ that it

and outer tangential walls. Lacunar Collenchyma Lacunar collenchyma consist thickening around the cell walls facing the cavity lumen or intracellular spaces. Sclerenchyma tissue is composed of cells with rigid cell walls and they function to support the weight of a plant organ. The main function is as supporting tissues that withstands various strains resulting from stretching and bending which makes the plant elastics. There are two types of sclerenchyma cells which are fibers andsclereids. They

What is primary tissue culture? Several different types of culture are routinely performed. The Classification of tissue cultures is based on the origin of the cells; which can roughly be divided into "primary culture" and "culture of established cell lines." Primary tissue culture can consist of the culture of a complex organ or tissue slice‚ a defined mixture of cells‚ or highly purified cells isolated directly from the organism. Compared to a cell line using primary culture has the advantages
