Q

Describe how the Epithelial Tissue Protects…

A

Epithelial tissue lines the body’s surfaces and organs, shielding underlying tissues from physical and chemical damage, as well as from infection and injury

A
  1. Support and Structure
  2. Connecting and Binding

Q

Describe how the Connective Tissue Supports and maintains Structure…

A

Provides the framework for organs and tissues, giving them their shape and form ( can be rigid e.g. bone or flexible e.g. cartilage or stretchy e.g. elastic tissue ) ( Bone - Supports Skeleton, Cartilage - Cushions Joints, Ligaments and Tendons - Connect Bone and Muscle )

Q

Describe how the Connective Tissue Connects and Binds…

A

Acts as a bridge between different tissues and organs ( Ligaments connect bone to bone, Tendons connect muscles to bones )

Q

Describe how the Connective Tissue Transport Substances…

A

Blood is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones and waste products throughout the body. Connective tissue in other parts of the body also play a role in the diffusion of nutrients and waste between cells and blood vessels

Q

Describe how Connective Tissue Defends against Pathogens…

A

Immune cells defend against infection by recognising and eliminating pathogens. Inflammation is a process initiated by connective tissue, which is a defence mechanism against injury and infection

Q

Describe how Connective Tissue is involved in Storing Energy…

A

Adipose tissue stores fat, which serves as an energy reserve and can be used by the body when needed

Q

Describe how Muscle Tissue is involved in Energy Metabolism and Storage…

A

Muscle tissue is always using energy even at rest, it can store carbohydrates and amino acids for later use as fuel

17
Q

Describe how Muscle Tissue is involved in Heat Production…

A

Muscle contractions produce heat as a byproduct, which maintains body temperature in cold environments ( e.g. shivering is an involuntary muscle contraction for generating heat when body temperature drops )

18
Q

Describe how Muscle Tissue is involved in Organ Function…

A

Cardiac muscle is responsible for pumping blood and maintaining proper circulation throughout the body

19
Q

What are the Functions of Nervous Tissue? ( 3 )

A
  1. Reception of general sensory information
  2. Receiving and perceiving special sensations
  3. Integration of sensory information
20
Q

Describe how Nervous Tissue is involved in the Reception of General Sensory Information…

A

Composed of neurons and glial cells, enables rapid transmission of electrical impulses , facilitating communication between the brain, spinal cord, and periphearl nerves

21
Q

Describe how Nervous Tissue is involved in Receiving and Perceiving special sensations…

A

Allows the body to detect and interpret external and internal stimuli, coordinates muscle movement allowing for voluntary and involuntary actions

22
Q

Describe how Nervous Tissue is involved in the Integration of Sensory Information…

A

Nervous tissue integrates and processes sensory information, enabling the brain to make decision and formulate responses
