nervous tissue.

Question 14

Question: What is the function of the muscle tissues?

Answer 14

contraction of muscle tissues is there to allow and provide movement.

Question 15

Answer 16

the body and line cavities, hollow organs and tubes.

simple squamous.
simple columnar.
ciliated.

Answer 20

cube shaped/ cuboids.

Question 21

What shape are the simple squamous tissues?

Answer 21

irregular and flat shaped, squished.

Question 22

What shape are the simple columnar tissues?

thin and long columns.

Question 23

What shape are the ciliated tissues?

Answer 23

long, wavy columns that have little hairs on the top (cilia) that are able to waft back and fourth.

Question 24

What are the 2 types of compound epithelial tissues?

Answer 24

simple compound epithelium.
keratinised compound epithelium.

Question 25

What is the structure of the simple compound epithelium?

Answer 25

several layers of cells, outer layer of the cells might be worn away.

Question 26

What is the structure of the keratinised compound epithelium?

Answer 26

outer layer of the cells are dead, flattened and filled with a protein called keratin. the keratin gives the tissues a waterproof outer layer.

Answer 28

under conscious control and this enable us to move our bones.

Question 29

What is concerned with the non-striated muscle tissues?

Answer 29

many internal body processes and functions.

contractibility. irritability. extensibility. elasticity.

Question 32

What is contractibility?

Answer 32

the ability to shorten and thicken.

Question 33

What is irritability?

Answer 33

the ability to respond to stimuli created by nerve impulses.

Question 34

What is extensibility?

Answer 34

the ability to stretch.

Question 35

What is elasticity?

Answer 35

the ability to return to its original shape following contraction.

Question 37

What is a neurone specialised for and what does it recieve?

Answer 37

specialised nerve cells and it receives stimuli which then converts it to a nerve impulses and transmits this to other neurones, muscles and glands.
