Module 1- tissue (3)

two or more kinds of tissues grouped together and performing a specialized ?

-epithelial

-muscular

-connective

-nerve

when we study tissues; examine the: ?

• - found throughout the body in every region

• - covers organs, forms the inner lining of body cavities and lines hollow organs

• - always has a surface exposed to an outside or opening

• - can be single layer or cells or multiple layers ( both have a basement membrane)

• Muscle tissue
• Nervous tissue
• Connective tissue
• Epithelial tissue

• these are characteristics of?

• - lack blood vessels

• - cells rapidly divide

• - cells are tightly packed together

• - little to no matrix

• - classified according to cell shape and number of cell layers

both contain basement membrane

• - squamous

• - cuboidal

• - columnar

? is able to contact or in other words, their cell can shorten. as they contract, they pull at their attached ends which ultimately moves body parts.

typically, there is very little to no ? with muscle tissue; typically the cells are stack on top of each other.

there are three catergories of muscle tissue:
