Question
Answer
Cells in muscle tissues are called   called muscle fibers due to their elongated shape  
🗑
Muscle tissues are_________meaning they can shorten and thicken   __________tissues are contractile  
🗑
three types of muscle tissue   skeletal, smooth, and cardiac are  
🗑
Skeletal muscle tissue forms   forms muscles that usually attach to bones and that are controlled by conscious effort  
🗑
Skeletal muscle tissue is under   under conscious control and is therefore called voluntary  
🗑
Striations of skeletal muscle tissue   alternating light and dark cross-markings  
🗑
Skeletal muscle tissue functions   functions to move body parts and in swallowing and breathing  
🗑
Smooth muscle tissue is called   called smooth because it lacks striations  
🗑
Smooth muscle tissue located   located in walls of most hollow internal organs  
🗑
Smooth muscle   involuntary because it cannot be consciously controlled  
🗑
Cardiac muscle tissue is located   muscle tissue located only in the heart  
🗑
An intercalated disc   a specialized intercellular junction located only in cardiac muscle tissue  
🗑
Like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is   striated  
🗑
Like smooth muscle, cardiac muscle is   involuntary  
🗑
Nervous tissues are found   found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves  
🗑
neurons   The basic cells of nervous tissue  
🗑
Epithelial membranes   composed of epithelial and underlying connective tissues  
🗑
Three types of epithelial membranes   serous, mucous, and cutaneous  
🗑
Serous membranes line   line the body cavities that lack opening to the outside and secrete serous fluid  
🗑
Mucous membranes line   line the cavities and tubes that open to the outside of the body  
🗑
The cutaneous membrane   called skin  
🗑
Neurons, or nerve cells   sensitive to changes in their surroundings and respond to stimulation of impulses along nerve fibers  
🗑
neuroglial cells serve   serve to support the neurons and bind the nervous tissue together  
🗑
Neuroglial cell   carry on phagocytosis and bring nutrients to the neurons as well as remove waste from cells  
🗑
Epithelial membranes   cover body surfaces and line body cavities and organs  
🗑
Synovial membranes   line joints  
🗑
Serous membranes   line body cavities  
🗑
Mucous membranes   line the cavities and tubes that open to the outside of the body  
🗑
