Muscle and Nerve Tissue
2
Muscle and Nervous Muscle Tissues:
•Capable of contracting or shortening •Moves body parts •Produce heat
3
Muscles Tissue Types 1. Skeletal (striated) 2. Smooth 3. Cardiac
4
Skeletal (Striated) Muscle
Under voluntary control. Thin cells that extend the entire length of muscle; multinucleated. Location: Attached to bones through entire body Function: Body movement, heat production
5
Smooth Muscle Unstriated, under involuntary control.
Cells are longer but tapered at the ends; single nucleated, nucleus located in the middle of cell Location: Walls of organs, blood vessels, eyes, glands, and skin Function: Move products internally
6
Cardiac Muscle Striated; involuntary control
Single cells with intercalated disks – cell to cell attachment points for communication. Location: Heart Function: Blood movement via heart contraction
7
Nervous Tissue Sensitive to change in surrounding
Coordinate, regulate, and integrate body functions. Function: Receive and Transmit Signals. Location: Brains, Spinal Cord
