Majority of these tissues are found in the brain and spinal cord
Classified as either voluntary or involuntary
Provides support, nourishment, and protection to many neurons that constitute the nervous system
Consists of many thick, tightly packed fibers with very few supporting cells
Contain cardiomyocytes. In cross-section, they tend to be less circular than skeletal muscle fibers. Cells are branched and tightly joined to each other by specialized junctions known as intercalated discs.
Avascular with no blood vessels entering between cells
present in the newborn through its development into adulthood and beyond
Can be found in Blood vessel walls. Iris of the eye. Airways to the lungs. Walls of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder, and female uterus.
present in the embryo through its development into a fetus
Consists of loosely arranged fibers that form a network between cells and contain; areolar, adipose, and reticular connective tissue
These muscles attached to bones to perform voluntary movement and maintenance of posture
