What do the epithelial connective muscle and nerve tissue do in the human body?
Epithelial- skin, muscle-heart, connective-tendons, and nerve tissue-spinal cord
What connective tissue is found in the umbilical cord?
mucoid connective tissue (Wharton jelly)areolar (?)
What are the functions of the connective tissue wrappings of the skeletal muscle?
endoneuuronium isolates form other neuronal procisses *Endoneurium - insulates each nerve fiber from the neuron processes adjacent to it. Perineurium - forms fascicles. Epineurium - forms cord-like nerve.
What is the a tendon?
Tendon is an inelastic cord or band of tough white fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone or other part.
What are the four tissue types of the human body?
Epithelium - Tissues composed of layers of cells that cover organ surfaces such as surface of the skin and inner lining of digestive tract: the tissues that serve for protection, secretion, and absorption.Connective tissue - As the name suggests, connective tissue holds everything together. Connective tissue is characterized by the separation of the cells by nonliving material, which is called extracellular matrix. Bone and blood are connective tissues.Muscle tissue - Muscle cells are the contractile tissue of the body. Its function is to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs. Muscle tissue is separated into three distinct categories: visceral or smooth muscle, which is found in the inner linings of organs; skeletal muscle, which is found attached to bone in order for mobility to take place; and cardiac muscle which is found in the heart.Nervous tissue - Cells forming the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.
Tissue found in umbillical cord?
mucoid connective tissue (Wharton jelly)areolar (?)
What is the functions of four majors tissue types?
Muscle tissue: produce, force and cause motion Nerve tissue: Forms brain, spinal cord and cranial nerves Epithelial tissue: provides barrier for organs from outside environment Connective tissue: Holds other tissues together such as bone of blood. Muscle tissue: produce, force and cause motion Nerve tissue: Forms brain, spinal cord and cranial nerves Epithelial tissue: provides barrier for organs from outside environment Connective tissue: Holds other tissues together such as bone of blood.
What is a fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bone?
Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that holds bones in a joint together.
What is the definition of tendon?
Dense regularly arranged connective tissue that connects muscles to bone. A cord or band of dense, tough, inelastic, white, fibrous tissue, serving to connect a muscle with a bone or part.
Cordlike extension of connective tissue beyond muscle?
Muscle contractions power our movement by changing the relative positions of our bones. Muscles connect to the bone through cord-like extensions called tendons.
The series of connective tissue membranes specifically associated with the spinal cord are?
Meninges
What are the 4 kinds of tissue in the human body?
