Muscle tissue&nervous tissue Tissues - 3
Essential Question • How does form follow function in muscle and nervous tissue?
Muscle Tissue • Has cells that are contractile & excitable • Comes from mesoderm • Cells called muscle fibers
3 types of muscle • Skeletal • Cardiac • Smooth
Skeletal Muscle • Voluntary • Striated • multinucleated • Packaged by CT • Each muscle is an organ • Most connect to a bone & contraction causes bone to move
Cardiac Muscle • Involuntary • Striated • Found only in heart • Cell junctions: intercalated discs • Gap junctions that allows ions pass directly into neighboring cells for transmission of nerve impulse
Smooth Muscle • Involuntary • Nonstriated • Found in walls of organs • Found all thru GI tract • Contracts in waves called peristalsis • Keeps food moving thru
Nervous Tissue • Irritable • Conductive • Comes from endoderm • Cells called neurons
Supporting Cells • Support neurons • In CNS • Astrocytes • Microglia • Oligodendocytes • Ependymal cells • In PNS • Schwann cells • Satellite cells
