Front

What is Smooth Muscle?

Back

Smooth muscle is a type of non-striated, involuntary muscle found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and blood vessels. It is responsible for involuntary movements.

Front

What type of tissue is Epithelial - Simple Columnar?

Back

Epithelial - Simple Columnar tissue consists of a single layer of tall, column-like cells. It is primarily involved in absorption and secretion, found in the lining of the stomach and intestines.

Front

What is the most abundant type of tissue in the human body?

Back

Connective tissue is the most abundant type of tissue in the human body, providing support, binding other tissues together, and storing energy.

Front

What is the function of the Cell Body in a neuron?

Back

The Cell Body contains the nucleus and organelles of the neuron, and it is responsible for maintaining the cell's health and processing information.

Front

Which tissue conducts impulses?

Back

Nervous tissue is made up of neurons that conduct impulses, allowing for communication between different parts of the body.

Front

What is the primary function of Epithelial tissue?

Back

The primary function of Epithelial tissue is to cover body surfaces, line cavities and organs, and facilitate absorption, secretion, and sensation.

Front

What are the two main types of muscle tissue?

Back

The two main types of muscle tissue are skeletal muscle (voluntary and striated) and smooth muscle (involuntary and non-striated).

Front

What is the role of connective tissue?

Back

Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues and organs in the body. It includes various types such as bone, blood, and adipose tissue.

Front

What is the structure of Nervous tissue?

Back

Nervous tissue is composed of neurons, which transmit impulses, and glial cells, which support and protect neurons.

Front

What is the difference between simple and stratified epithelial tissue?

Back

Simple epithelial tissue consists of a single layer of cells, while stratified epithelial tissue has multiple layers, providing more protection.
