17
Q

What tissue has a high density of collagen fibres

A

Dense connective tissue proper

18
Q

What are the main functions of collagen

A

Provide structure, strength and support throughout the cell/body

19
Q

What total percentage does each type of tissue occupy

A

Epithelia - 3%
Connective tissue - 45%
Muscular tissue - 50%
Nervous tissue - 2%

20
Q

What are the 3 types of muscle tissue

A

Skeletal muscle
Cardiac muscle
Smooth muscle tissue

21
Q

What does skeletal muscle do

A

Enables movement of the skeleton (everyday movement)

22
Q

What does cardiac muscle do

A

It is responsible for the contractility of the heart/pumping of the heart

23
Q

What do smooth muscle do

A

Enables digestion and nutrients collection in the stomach and intestine
Maintains integrity of arterial walls

24
Q

What are the 2 main types of nervous tissue

A

Neurons
Neuralgia

25
Q

What are the functions of neurons

A

Information messengers. They use electrical impulses and chemical signals to transmit information between different areas of the brain, and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system.

26
Q

What are the functions of Neuroglia
MRPPR

A

Maintain nervous tissue structure
Repair nervous tissue framework (after injury)
Perform phagocytosis
Provide nutrients to neurons
Regulate the composition of the interstitial fluid surrounding neurons

27
Q

What is the place where a neuron receives input/information from other cells

A

Dendrite

28
Q

Where is the dendrite located

A

Neuron head

29
Q

What is the axon

A

Where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons
