TISSUES by Mind Map: TISSUES

1. Dendrites is a highly branched process

2. Structures

2.1. made of nerve cells or neurons, all of which consists of an Axon.

2.2. Axons are long-stem like projections emerging out of the cell

2.3. The main part is the cell body which contains the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell organelles

3. MUSCULAR

3.1. Classification

3.1.1. Skeletal Muscle

3.1.2. Smooth Muscle

3.1.3. Cardiac Muscle

3.2. Structures

3.2.1. composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts

3.2.2. The tissue is highly cellular and is well supplied with blood vessels

3.2.3. The cells are long and slender and these are usually arranged in bundles or layers that are surrounded by the connective tissue

3.3. Functions

3.3.1. Create motion

3.3.2. Stabilize body positions and maintain posture

3.3.3. Store substances within the body using sphincters

4. NERVOUS

4.1. Classification

4.1.1. Neurons

4.1.2. Neuroglia

4.2. Functions

4.2.1. Neurons generate and carry out nerve impulses. They produce electrical signals that are transmitted across distances, they do so by secreting chemical neurotransmitters

4.2.2. Controls and coordinates body movements

4.2.3. Responds to stimuli

4.2.4. Carries out communication and integration

4.2.5. Provides electrical insulations to nerve cells and removes debris

4.2.6. Carries messages from other neurons to the cell body

5. EPITHELIAL

5.1. Classification

5.1.1. No. of layers

5.1.1.1. Simple

5.1.1.2. Pseudostratified

5.1.1.3. Stratified

5.1.1.4. Transitional

5.1.2. Cell shape

5.1.2.1. Squamous

5.1.2.2. Cuboidal

5.1.2.3. Columnar

5.1.2.4. Roughly cuboidal to columnar

5.2. Structures

5.2.1. cells are tightly packed together

5.2.2. very little extracellular matrix

5.2.3. the cells have one free surface

5.2.4. the cells are attached to underlying connective tissue by a non-cellular basement membrane

5.3. Functions

5.3.1. Protection

5.3.2. Acts as a barrier

5.3.3. Diffusion & Filtration

5.3.4. Secretion

5.3.5. Absorption

6. CONNECTIVE

6.1. Classification

6.1.1. Loose connective tissue (areolar)

6.1.2. Adipose tissue

6.1.3. Dense connective tissue

6.1.4. Cartilage

6.1.5. Bone

6.1.6. Blood

6.2. Structures

6.2.1. the cells are far apart

6.2.2. contains large amount of extracellular matrix

6.2.3. has a ground substance which is composed of protein and sugars

6.3. Functions

6.3.1. Enclose & Separate

6.3.2. Connects tissues

6.3.3. Support & movement

6.3.4. Storage

6.3.5. Cushion & insulate

6.3.6. Transport

6.3.7. Protection
