2 MUSCLE TISSUE

3 CHARACTERISTICS FUNCTION: MOVEMENT LOCATION: THROUGHOUT THE BODY

4 MUSCLE TISSUE 3 TYPES OF MUSCLE TISSUE SKELETAL MUSCLE CARDIAC MUSCLE SMOOTH MUSCLE

5 SKELETAL MUSCLE FUNCTION: VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT (nervous system provides voluntary control) SHAPE: Cells are long, cylindrical, striated, and multinucleated (striated b/c the cells grouped together giving a “striated” or banded look) So they are called Striated voluntary muscle LOCATION: CONNECTED TO BONES

6 SKELETAL MUSCLE

7 CARDIAC MUSCLE FUNCTION: CAUSE HEART TO BEAT, MAINTAINS BLOOD PRESSURE SHAPE: CELLS ARE SHORT, BRANCHED, AND STRIATED LOCATION: HEART ONLY

8 CARDIAC MUSCLE FIBER NUCLEUS INTERCALATED DISC

9 SMOOTH MUSCLE FUNCTION: PROPELS SUBSTANCES ALONG INTERNAL PASSAGES. SHAPE: CELLS ARE SHORT, SPINDLE-SHAPED, AND NONSTRAIATED, WITH A SINGLE, CENTRAL NUCLEUS LOCATION: WALLS OF HOLLOW ORGANS & BLOOD VESSELS

11 NERVOUS TISSUE TWO MAJOR CELL TYPES NEURONS & NEUROGLIAL CELLS 1. NEURONS: GENERATE AND CONDUCT NERVE IMPULSES 2. NEUROGLIAL CELLS: SUPPORT, NOURISH, INSULATE & PROTECT; DO NOT CARRY IMPULSES (KNOWN AS THE SUPPORTING CELLS) LOCATION: BRAIN, SPINAL CORD & NERVES
