Function: Type of tissue that transmits nerve impulses (information) throughout the body
Structure: Cells that are tightly packed and have a definite top and bottom that is very strong.
Examples: Ligament, Cartilage, bone, tendon, blood
Examples: Skeletal (biceps, triceps), cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth (organ muscles)
Function: Covers the body surface and organs like a wall to keep the inside and outside separate.
Structure: Cells with jelly like material and with spindly fibers
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Independent variable
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Not a variable.
Examples: brain, sensory receptors, nerves, and spinal cord
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Controlled variable
Function: A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts
Function: A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move.
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Dependent variable
Structure: Contains long & narrow cells that allow them to pull like a rubber band.
Specialized group of similar cells that work together to perform a function
Examples: Skin, outer layer of organs, lining of tubes, body cavities
Structure: Long and slender like a wire so that electrical impulses can travel along it quickly
