medicine works. Is it possible to create and transplant brain tissue to heal conditions like Parkinson’s disease? [Ask a MacArthur genius: Can feces fuel cars?] “My target was always to use this for Parkinson’s‚” he said. The disease‚ which affects about two of every 1‚000 people‚ is found in those whose brains stop producing dopamine. This neurotransmitter is like the brain’s messenger

11. Identify the four basic types of tissues and the functions of each tissue type. There are four different types of tissue. They are; nerve‚ epithelial‚ connective‚ and muscle. The nerve tissue is made up of neurons that receive and transmit electrical impulses‚ this is their function. There are several different types of epithelial tissue. First there is simple squamous epithelium tissue. This is a single layer of cells that is in the lining of blood vessels‚ the lining of the pulmonary alveoli

main tissues of the body. In this assignment I’m going to talk about the structure of the main tissues which are found within the body as well as what their role is in the terms of two named organs of the body. Tissues are a collection of similar cells that group together to carry out a specific function within the body. There are four different types of tissue found in the human body which include; epithelial tissue; connective tissue; muscle tissue and nerve tissue. The first type of tissue found

bone tissue are created by the calcium phosphate that is part of the hydroxyapatite (as cited in Sheikh‚ 2015). Bone‚ as a living tissue has the ability to heal by itself but if the injury exceeds the limit of the bone to recover itself‚ it will not heal naturally (Rajendran‚ 2015). Current treatments have loopholes making it less effective and risky for humans. One of the most promising treatments‚ made possible by technological advancement‚ that can help solve bone problems is Bone Tissue Engineering

connective tissue serves a "connecting" function. It supports and binds other tissues in the body. Unlike epithelial which has cells that are closely packed together‚ connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix of fibrous proteins and glycoproteins attached to a basement membrane. 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

example of a soft tissue injury would be pulling or tearing your hamstring. The hamstring is located at the bag of your leg and runs from the back of your knee to just below the gluteus Maximus. This injury will occur when the muscle is overstretched and is common in most sports but especially football and sprinting due to the amount of work your legs go through. Soft tissue includes tendons‚ ligaments‚ fascia‚ skin‚ fibrous tissues‚ fat‚ and synovial membranes‚ which are connective tissue‚ and muscles
