Different Tissue Flashcards
(29 cards)
Four major tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous
Where is the epithelial tissue
Skin surface, lining of GI tract and hollow organs
Function of epithelial tissue
Covers exposed surface
Lines internal passgeway
Produces glandular secretions
Connective tissue function
Structural framework for other tissues e.g fat, tendons, ligaments
Muscular tissue function
Joint movement
- > Skeletal - > Smooth - > Cardiac
Where is the nervous tissue
Brain
Spinal cord
Nerves
Function of nervous tissue
Send internal communication by conducting and receiving electrical pulses
Integumentary system organs
Skin
Hair
Nails
Sweat glands
Functions of integumentary system
Protects tissue
Excretes salts via perspiration
Regulate body temperature
Give feeling sensation e.g heat
Skeletal system organs
Bones Cartilages Ligaments Joints Bone marrow
Function of skeletal system
Provides. . . Support Protection Framework for muscle contraction Stores calcium Hematopoiesis occurs in bone marrow
Muscular system organs
Skeletal muscles
Tendons
Function of muscualar system
Provides Movement and locomotion Postural maintenance Facial expressions Generates heat
Nervous system organ
Brain
Spinal cord
Nerves
Sensory organs
Function of nervous system
Direct immediate response to stimuli
Coordinates/moderates activities of other organ systems
Provides + interprets sensory information about external conditions
Endocrine system organ
Pituitary gland Thyroid gland Pancreas Adrenal glands Testes Ovaries
Function of endocrine system
Controls hormones for growth and reproduction
Cardiovascular system organ
Heart
Blood vessel
Blood
Function of cardiovascular system
Transports - oxygen - nutrients - hormones - waste products Regulates temperature
Lymphyatic system organ
Lymphatic vessels
Lymph nodes
Spleen
Function of lymphatic system
Defend against pathogens
Return leaked fluid back into bloodstream
Respiratory system organs
Nose Nasal cavity Mouth Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchiole Lungs
Function of Respiratory system
Gaseous exchange
Sound production
Digestive system organs
