Muscle tissue and connective are different because
muscular tissue is specialized for an ability to contract. Muscle cells are elongated and referred to as muscle fibers. When a stimulus is received at one end of a muscle cell, a wave of excitation is conducted through the entire cell so that all parts contract in harmony. There are three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissue (Figure 5). Contractions of the skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones, cause the bones to move. Cardiac muscle contracts to force blood out of the heart and around the body. Smooth muscle can be found in several organs, including the digestive tract, reproductive organs, respiratory tract, and the lining of the bladder. Examples of smooth muscle activity are: contraction of the bladder to force urine out, peristaltic movement to move feces down the digestive system, and contraction of smooth muscle in the trachea and bronchi which decreases the size of the air passageway.
Connective tissues are specialized to provide support and hold the body tissues together (I've, they connect). They contain more intracellular substances than the other tissues. A variety of connective tissues exist, including blood, bone and cartilage, adipose (fat), and the fibrous and areolar (loose) connective tissues that gives support to most organs (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). The blood and lymph vessels are immersed in the connective tissue media of the body. The blood-vascular system is a component of connective tissue. In addition to connecting the connective tissue plays a major role in protecting the body from outside invaders. The hematopoietic tissue is a form of connective tissue responsible for the manufacture of all the blood cells and immunological capability. Phagocytes are connective tissue cells and produce antibodies. Thus, if invading organisms or xenobiotics get through the epithelial protective barrier, it is the connective tissue that goes into action to defend against them.
What else can I help you with?
Which of these is not a type of connective tissue?
Muscle tissue is not a type of connective tissue. Connective tissue includes types such as adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.
Is skeletal muscle considered a type of connective tissue?
No, skeletal muscle is not considered a type of connective tissue. Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is responsible for movement in the body, while connective tissue is a different type of tissue that provides support and structure to the body.
What type of connective tissue contains spindle shaped cells?
The connective tissue that contains spindle-shaped cells is called smooth muscle tissue. These cells are found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels, where they are responsible for involuntary movements.
What type of connective tissue attaches muscle and bone?
Dense connective tissue
Bone is a type of what tissue?
Bone is a type of connective tissue that provides structure and support to the body. It is composed of cells, fibers, and minerals that give it strength and rigidity. Bones also serve as a site for mineral storage and blood cell production.
Which of these is not a type of connective tissue?
Muscle tissue is not a type of connective tissue. Connective tissue includes types such as adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.
Is skeletal muscle considered a type of connective tissue?
No, skeletal muscle is not considered a type of connective tissue. Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is responsible for movement in the body, while connective tissue is a different type of tissue that provides support and structure to the body.
What type of connective tissue contains spindle shaped cells?
The connective tissue that contains spindle-shaped cells is called smooth muscle tissue. These cells are found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels, where they are responsible for involuntary movements.
Which one of these is NOT a type of muscle tissue?
The three main types of muscle tissue are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Any other tissue type, such as epithelial or connective tissue, would not be considered muscle tissue. Therefore, if you have a specific option in mind, it would likely be one of those non-muscle tissue types.
What part of the muscle attaches the muscle to the bone?
bones
Is smooth tissue a muscle tissue?
Smooth tissue refers to a type of tissue that lacks striation and is typically found in organs like blood vessels and the digestive tract. Muscle tissue encompasses three types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Smooth tissue is a specific type of muscle tissue known as smooth muscle tissue.
What type of connective tissue attaches muscle and bone?
Dense connective tissue
What type of muscle has dense connective tissue?
They all do: Skeletal, Cardiac, & smooth
Bone is a type of what tissue?
Bone is a type of connective tissue that provides structure and support to the body. It is composed of cells, fibers, and minerals that give it strength and rigidity. Bones also serve as a site for mineral storage and blood cell production.
What type of tissue that forms ligaments that attach muscle to bone?
Connective tissue....
What type of muscle tissue would you find in the heart?
Cardiac muscle tissue and connective tissue would be found in the heart.
What type of tissues include the biceps?
The biceps include both skeletal muscle tissue and connective tissue. The skeletal muscle tissue is responsible for the movement of the biceps, while the connective tissue helps to support and stabilize the muscle fibers.
