Lesson 2: Animal Tissues Flashcards
it is a multicellular organism that belongs to the kingdom Animalia
Animal Tissues
it obtains nutrients by consuming other organism
Heterotrophic
it is the ability to move from one place to the other
Locomotion
Types of Animal Tissue
Epithelial Tissue, Connective Tissue, Nervous Tissue, Muscle Tissue
it is the outermost covering of the animal. It functions as protection, secretion, absorption, and sensory
Epithelial Tissue
it is responsible for keeping tissues and organ in place
Connective Tissues
give examples of connective tissues
adipose (fat), bones, blood, cartilage tissues
made up of nerve cells and glial cells
Nervous Tissue
it nourish, insulate, and replenish the neurons
glial cells
all nerves outside the Central Nervous System that connects the brain and the spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System
it consists of the brain and the spinal cord
Central Nervous System
It carry signals from teh CNS to muscle and glands
motor nerves
it facilitates communication between sensory and motor nerves
Interneurons/ Associative
- transmits sensory info from sensory receptors to CNS
- detects external and internal stimuli then convert it to chemical signal for the CNS
sensory/afferent neurons
it transmit electrical and chem signals known as nerve impulses throughout the body
Nerve cells
