Forms glands
Provides protection
Aids diffusion, secretion and filtration
What are properties of epithelial tissue
Basement membrane
Non vascularised
Cells divide rapidly
Tightly packed
What are the types and roles of epithelium
Simple- lining, diffusion
Stratified- protection
Pseudostratified
What are the roles of connective tissue
Provide support Protection Act as framework Store fat Produce blood cells Fight infection Repairs damaged tissue
What are the properties of connective tissue
Scattered cells in intracellular matrix
Good blood supply
Cells can reproduce
Contains ground substance
What are the types of connective tissue proper
Loose irregular /areolar- viscous fluid matrix containing many cells and a loose arrangement of fibres
Dense irregular- viscous fluid matrix containing a dense network of collagenous and elastic fibres which is impact resistant
What are the types of specialised connective tissue
Dense regular- densely packed collagen fibres resistant to axially loaded tension forces but has some flexibility
Adipose tissue/fat- large lipid droplets surrounded by thin rim of cytoplasm with nuclei pushed to side
Blood- blood plasma and blood cells
Properties of smooth muscle
Involuntary
Slow contraction speed
Unstriated
Properties of skeletal muscle
Voluntary
Fast contraction speed
Striated
Properties of cardiac muscle
Involuntary
Very slow contraction speed
Striated
Intercalated disks
What are the two types of neural cell
Neurones
Neuroglia
What are the three types of neurone
Sensory
Relay
Motor
What is the function of neuroglia such as schwaan or satellite cells
Support, regulation and protection of neurones
