Q

Smooth muscle features and their function

A

-spindle shaped cells
-no striation
-innervated by autonomic nervous system
-contains 2 layers
1)Circular-constrict /lengthen the organ
2)Longitudinal-dilate/ shorten the organ

function-involuntary movement

Blood vessels walls
Airways
GI walls
Uterus walls
Bladder

Q

Cardiac muscle features and their function

A

-short and branched fibers that are interconnected by intercalated disks
-striated
-single centrally located nuclei
-innervated by autonomic nervous system
cells—->cardiomyocytes

function-to contract heart to push out blood

Heart

Q

Skeletal muscle structure

A

Sarcomere——>Myofibril——>Muscle fiber/cell——>Fesicle——>Muscle tissue

Sarcomere-contains thinner actin filaments and thicker myosin filaments

Lining of muscle fiber-endomysium(connective tissue)
Lining of Fesicle-Perimysium(fibrous connective tissue)
Lining of muscle tissue-Epimysium(irregular connective tissue)

Q

How muscle joins to bone?

A

1)directly(epimysium of muscle binds to periosteum if bone or perichondrium of cartilage)

2)indirectly via tendons or aponeurosis(flat tendons)

Q

Skeletal muscle features and their function (Most abundant)

A

-bundle of long muscle cells or fibers surrounded by endomysium
-multinuclei in periphery
-striated b/c of sarcomere
-innervated by somatic nervous system
cells—->Myoblasts

function-voluntary movement , regulates body temp by releasing heat during contraction

All around body
Sphincter muscle in GI and urinary tract

Q

Neuron features and their function

A

-contains 1)cell body 2)dendrite 3)axon hillock 4)single axon 5)terminal branches

Dendrite receives stimuli
Axon transmits response
Terminal branch release neurotransmitter

Q

Gilia and their function

A

Function-Nourish, insulate , replenish neurons
-modulate neuron functions

18
Q

What are the func of exoskeleton in arthropods and carbs

A

Protection and muscle attachment

Ingrowths of exoskeleton are called apodomes——> muscle attachment

19
Q

What are endoskeleton

A

Bonds and vertebrates

20
Q

Why do cells divide?

A

Cells are surrounded by ECF, cells receive nutrients by diffusion. If the cell is too large, the central portion of the cell wont be accessible to the diffusion

Therefore, cells divide

21
Q

What are the differences between the metabolic rate of endoskeletons and exoskeletons?

A

Metabolic rate of endoskeleton are low, bcuz they rely on environmental temp to maintain their temp

Endoskeleton ——> obtain heat from metabolism of food to maintain constant body tem

22
Q

What is torpor?

A

An ability of the organisms to survive in the adverse conditions of the environment

Eg, hibernation-lower body temp to acquire low MR

23
Q

What are the two body cavities in a body?

A

Two body cavities- dorsal cavity and ventral cavity Dorsal cavity- spinal cavity and cranial cavity

Ventral cavity- thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity+ pelvic cavity

24
Q

How many types of tissues

A

4

Epithelial tissue
Muscle tissue
Connective tissue
Nervous tissue

25
How many types of muscle tissues are there?
3 types Skeletal - striated -multiple nuclei Smooth- non-striated- a single nucleus at the centre Cardiac- smooth- non striated- single nucleus
26
What is a tissue?
A group of cells that have the same structure and function.
27
How are tissues organized in the body?
Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form organ systems.
28
Give an example of an organ with multiple physiological roles.
The pancreas produces digestive enzymes (digestive system) and regulates blood sugar (endocrine system).
29
What are the four main types of animal tissue?
Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscle tissue, Nervous tissue.
30
How is epithelial tissue classified?
By the shape of the cells and the number of layers.
31
What are the two types of bone?
Compact bone, Spongy bone.
32
What is the function of platelets?
Blood clotting.
33
What are the three types of muscle tissue?
Skeletal muscle, Smooth muscle, Cardiac muscle.
34
Which muscle type is voluntary?
Skeletal muscle.
35
Which muscle types are involuntary?
Smooth muscle and Cardiac muscle.
36
Where is skeletal muscle found?
Attached to bones.
37
Where is smooth muscle found?
Walls of digestive tract, urinary bladder, arteries.
38
Where is cardiac muscle found?
Heart.
39
What are the main components of nervous tissue?
Neurons and Glial cells.
40
What is the function of dendrites?
Receive nerve impulses from other neurons.
41
What is the function of the axon?
Transmit impulses to other neurons or muscles.
42
What is the function of glial cells?
Support, nourish, and protect neurons.
