Muscle Tissue Function: ◦ contract (shorten) to produce movement Three types: 1. Skeletal muscle 2. Cardiac muscle 3. Smooth muscle © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Skeletal Muscle Tissue Voluntary (conscious) control Attach to bones or skin Produce: ◦ gross body movements ◦ facial expressions Cell Characteristics: ◦ Striations (stripes) ◦ Multinucleate (more than one nucleus) ◦ Long, cylindrical shape © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cardiac Muscle Tissue Involuntary control only in the heart Pumps blood through blood vessels Characteristics of cardiac muscle cells ◦ Striations ◦ One nucleus, short, branching cells Look somewhat like bamboo ◦ Intercalated discs: Areas between cells which contain gap junctions to connect cells together so that the impulse spreads across the heart synchronously © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Compare the two- note the differences Skeletal Cardiac

Smooth Muscle Tissue Involuntary control Location: where constricting and enlarging is required ◦ walls of hollow organs Peristalsis: a wavelike activity that moves digested material through the small intestine ◦ blood vessels Characteristics: ◦ No visible striations ◦ Single nucleus ◦ Spindle-shaped cells © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Nervous Tissue Two groups of cells: ◦ Neurons ◦ Neuroglia (glial cells) these insulate, protect, and support neurons Function: receive and conduct electrochemical impulses to and from body parts ◦ Irritability ◦ Conductivity © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Support Cells: Neuroglia (glial cells) CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM GLIAL CELLS Astrocytes ◦ Brace/anchor neurons, provide chemical barrier ◦ Most abundant glial cells Microglia ◦ Destroy threatening particles/cells; phagocytes Ependymal cells ◦ Line ventricles and central canal; cilia circulate CSF Oligodendrocytes ◦ Produce myelin sheath around axons (in the CNS) © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Glial Cells of the Peripheral Nervous System Satellite cells ◦ Protect neuron cell bodies Schwann cells ◦ Form myelin sheath around axons (in the PNS) © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
