the type of control in these muscles are involuntary
smooth & cardiac muscle
muscle that is voluntary
skeletal muscles
tissue that is composed of the main cells called the neurons and their supporting cells called the neuroglia
nervous tissue
5 important functions of the nervous tissues
- sensation
- receiving information
- transporting of info to the CNS
- processing of info
- providing the correct response mechanisms
nervous tissues help in maintaining the level of acidity by ________
regulating secretions by peripheral glands and by the stomach itself
2 properties of muscles tissues
- contractility
- conductility
3 types of muscle tissues (based on morphology and functions)
- striated skeletal muscle
- striated cardiac muscle
- smooth / visceral muscle
voluntary type of muscle that is controlled at will
striated skeletal muscle
basic contractile unit that consists of thick myosin cross-bridges that enable the sliding of the thin contractile actin filaments or isotropic bands toward the H-zone
sacromere
protective connective tissue that surrounds the striated skeletal muscle in cross-section
epimysium
epimysium extends as ____ connective tissues that surround bundles of muscle fibers or muscle cells
interfascicular
extends as the endomysium that immediately surrounds each muscle fiber
perimysium
in the longitudinal section, a striated skeletal muscle looks like bundles of ______ with alternating light and dark bands
cylindrical fibers
involuntary type of muscle whose contraction is initiated by neuromyogenic tissues
striated cardiac muscle
a non-striated involuntary muscle found in all organs of the viscera except the heart
smooth visceral muscle
unit structure of the nervous system that enable humans and animals to perceive environmental stimuli and respond to the same, allowing them to adjust and adapt to the environment
nerve tissue cells2m
unit structure of the nervous system that enable humans and animals to perceive environmental stimuli and respond to the same, allowing them to adjust and adapt to the environment
nerve tissue cells2m
unit structure of the nervous system that enable humans and animals to perceive environmental stimuli and respond to the same, allowing them to adjust and adapt to the environment
nerve tissue cells
2 main division of the NS
- CNS
- PNS
main division of the NS that includes the nerves as well as the cranial and spinal nerves, and the nerves of the autonomic division that serve the organs of the viscera
peripheral nervous system
main division consisting of brain and spinal cord ; acts as command centers of the body
central nervous system
2 functions of the PNS
- collect stimuli
- transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector organs
3 functions of the CNS
- processes, integrates, and interprets stimuli
unit structure of the nervous system
neuron or nerve cell
described as having the ability to conduct electrochemical impulses
nerve tissue cells
nerve cell body
soma or perikaryon
the neuron or nerve cell consists of:
- nerve cell body (soma or perikaryon)
- protoplasmic processes (axon or efferent process)
- dendrite or afferent process
the soma is found in the _____ of the brain and spinal cord as well as areas like the _______ of the brain
- gray matter
- deep nuclei
the _____ bundles up together and extend from the CNS as tracts, and as nerves from the PNS
axons
what do you call a neuron wherein their nerve cell bodies are among those in the gray matter of the CNS that process stimuli, and then send commands via their efferent processes or axons to the motor division of the PNS
motor neurons
neurons whose dendrites collect stimuli from body surfaces
sensory neurons
aggregation of cells outside the CNS
ganglia
supporting nerve cells that serve as delicate packing for the neurons of the CNS and PNS
glial cells or neuroglia
_____ include the astrocytes that serve as blood brain barriers
glial cells
