Chapter 5 (part 3) : Muscle and Nervous Tissue

Question 1

Muscle Tissue function

Answer 1

To contract and move various parts of the body

Question 2

Muscle Tissue responds

Answer 2

To electrical impulses sent by nerves from the brain and spinal cord

Question 3

The 3 shapes of muscle cells

Answer 3

Long tubular, short branching chains, or fusiform

Question 4

Multinucleated

Answer 4

More than on nucleus per cell

Question 5

Uninucleated

Answer 5

One nucleus per cell

Question 6

Striated

Answer 6

Alternating light and dark patterns created by muscle proteins (actin and myosin) that make the cell appear “striped” or “banded”

Question 7

Nonstriated

Answer 7

lacks the striped or banded pattern

Question 8

Voluntary control

Answer 8

Consciously controlled movements

Question 9

Involuntary control

Answer 9

Under unconscious control of the nervous system and hormones

Answer 21

Supportive cells of the nervous system

Question 22

Nerve

Answer 22

Bundle of thousands of neurons and the supporting neuroglial cells

Question 23

Brain and spinal cord each are composed of

Answer 23

100 billion neurons plus their supportive neuroglial cells

Question 24

Nervous Tissue Location

Answer 24

Throughout the body (peripheral nerves), sense organs, brain and spinal cord

Question 25

Nervous Tissue Function

Answer 25

Coordinate, integrate, and regulate all body functions by communicating with one another and with other tissues in the body through electrical impulses

Question 26

Answer 26

Line body cavities that lack an outside opening (secrete serous fluid)

Question 27

Parietal Peritoneum

Answer 27

Lining of the abdominopelvic cavity
