| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a membrane? | - A group of epithelia and connective tissues that ocmbine to protect the organs and the body |
| What are mucous membranes? | - They line passageways - Lubricate - Protect and aid in absorption or secretion - |
| What are serous membranes? | - They are thin - Located around organs and attach them to the body - Examples include: pericardium, pleura, peritoneum - Two surfaces: parietal and visceral |
| Cutaneous membranes? | - It's skin - It's thick, waterproof and dry (in contrast to serious and mucous) |
| Synovial membranes? | - Are the joints - They produce synovial fluid |
| What are the four types of tissue? | - Epithelial - Connective - Muscle - Neural |
| What are the three types of muscle tissue? | - Skeletal - Cardiac - Smooth |
| What is the structure of the skeletal muscle tissue? | - Long - Cylindrical - Strirated |
| What is the function of the skeletal muscle tissue? | - Voluntary movement - Produces heat - Protects organs |
| Where is skeletal muscle tissue located? | - Attached to bones - Around the mouth, anus etc. |
| What is the structure of cardiac muscle? | - Short - Branched - Striated |
| What is the function of cardiac muscle? | - Contracts to pump blood |
| Where is cardiac muscle located? | - The heart |
| What is the structure of smooth muscle tissue? | - Short - Spindle-shaped - No evident striation - |
| What is the function of smooth muscle tissue? | - Involuntary movement - Moves food - Involuntary control of respiration - Moves secretions - Regulates flow of blood in arteries |
| Where is smooth muscle tissue located? | - Walls of major organs - Walls of passageways |
| What are some characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue? | - Cannot divide - Multinucleate (has multiple nuclei) - Contains actin and myosin - Generates heat as a by-product of their contractions - Important role in thermal homeostasis |
| What are some characteristics of cardiac muscle tissue? | - Generally one nucleus (can have up to 5) - Contract on own without any external stimulation |
| What are some characteristics of smooth muscle tissue? | - One nucleus - Can regenerate - Contractile component of the digestive, urinary and reproductive systems |
| What are neurons comprised of? | - A cell body - Axons that transmit info to other cells - Dendrite that receive information |
| What are neuroglia? | - Support cells - Used for protection and nutrient supply |
