Specialized cells and tissues Flashcards
Groups of specialized cells that function together to perform specialized tasks
Tissue
Four types of animal tissue
- Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nervous tissue
- Epithelial Tissue
Lines body cavities and the outer surface of the body
protects structures
Forms glands that produce hormones, enzymes, and sweat
Made of cells tightly packed together
- Connective Tissue
Supports & protects structures
For the blood
Stores fat
Fills empty space
- muscle Tissue
Allows for movement
- Nervous Tissue
Responds to stimuli
Transmits & stores information
Hierarchy of living organisms
CELLS–> TISSUES–> ORGANS–> ORGAN SYSTEMS–> ORGANISIMS
Group of organs functioning together
Organ System
How many types of tissue are in the human body?
4
Tightly packed cells that protect strructure
Epithelial Tissue
Stores fat, and fills empty space and other tissue
Connective Tissue
How many types of tissue are in the Muscular System
3 types
3 types of tissue are found in the muscular system
Skeletal Tissue
Smooth Tissue
Cardiac Tissue
Skeletal Tissue
Voluntary muscles for movement
Smooth Tissue
In blood vessels, stomach and other organs ( involuntary)
Cardiac Tissue
Only in the heart ( involuntary)
Cardiac Tissue
Only in the heart ( involuntary)
