Tissue
Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a particular function
4 types of tissue
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nerve
Proper Connective Tissue examples
- Aponeurosis
- Ligament
- Tendon
Supportive Connective Tissue Examples
- Bone
2. Cartilage
Muscle Tissue (Involuntary Control)
- Smooth (Blood vessels, organs)
2. Cardiac (Heart)
Muscle Tissue (Voluntary Control)
Skeletal
Motor Unit
Nerve and its associated muscle fibers
Small vs large innervation ratios
Contraction Types
Isotonic (Concentric and Eccentric)
Isometric
Isometric
