1. Muscle Tissue Function: specialize in contractions for movement; voluntary (walking, speech) and involuntary (pushing materials through the body). http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=muscle+contraction&qpvt=muscle+contraction&FORM=VDRE#view=detail&mid=8A163880394EE06E3A578A163880394EE06E3A57 This has been created for educational purposes as a review of muscle and nerve tissues. Pictures have been found on a variety of online resources.

2. Type of Tissue? Skeletal Muscle  Location: muscle attached to bone  Function: Voluntary movement: provides movement such as walking, posture and facial expressions  Structure: Multinucleated, striated muscle fiber stevegallik.org mortezajavadi.persianblog.ir

3. Type of Tissue? Cardiac Muscle  Location: forms the wall of the heart  Function: Involuntary movement: forces blood through the blood vessels  Structure: Uninucleated, striated branched muscle fiber cytochemistry.net cksu.com

4.  Location: Muscle found in hollow organs  Function: Involuntary movement: pushes materials through the digestive track (stomach/intestine), determines the diameter of blood vessels  Structure: Uninucleated, non-striated muscle fiber Type of Tissue? Smooth Muscle quia.com kentsimmons.uwinnipeg.ca

5. Nerve Tissue Function: processes sensory information from sensory organs and responds with motor instruction to the body muscles and glands.

6. Nerve Tissue Classification:  Neurons: cells responsible for retrieving, interpreting and sending the electrical signals of the nervous system.  Neuroglia / Glial cells: support cells that surround and wrap neurons pixgood.com
