Answer 14

nervous tissue

Question 15

Where are nervous tissues found?

Answer 15

brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves

Question 16

brain and spinal cord

Answer 16

CNS

Question 17

What are the 3 functions of nervous tissue?

Answer 17

Sense change in environment, integrates and interprets, sensory input for understanding, responds by contractions or glandular secretions

Question 18

What are the 2 types of nervous cells?

Answer 18

neurons and neuroglial cells`

Question 19

Receive and conduct electrochemical impulses from one part of the body to another

Answer 19

neuron

Question 20

Specialized cells of the nervous system that produce myelin, communicate between cells maintain ionic environment, and nurture the differentiation of neurons

Answer 20

neuroglial cells

Question 21

How much do neuroglial cells occupy the CNS?

Answer 21

half

Question 22

Are neurons or neuroglial cells bigger?

Answer 22

neurons

Question 23

What does it mean if the neuroglial cells stay mitotic?

Answer 23

Fill in spaces of injured neurons after disease and injury; go in to the G0 phase and can be repaired

Question 24

A by-product of muscle contraction is heat production and is therefore important in homeostasis of body temperature

Answer 24

Thermogenesis

Question 25

Sustained contractions of smooth muscle to prevent outflow from hollow organs and maintain them at important volume

Answer 25

Regulating organ volume

Question 26

Insulation for nerve tissue

Answer 26

Myelinated

Question 27

No myelin around nerve

Answer 27

Unmyelinated
