  1. Cells & Tissues

  2. Elements-diversity Cell structure predicts function -cells contain the same elements -organelle amplification gives function

  3. Factors that influence cell specialization in animals • Cytoplasm • Environment • Neighbouring cells • Genes

  4. Elements-diversity Tissues: Epithelia Connective Tissue Muscle Nerve Cell structure predicts function cells live in communities =TISSUES 4 types of tissues

  5. Epithelia-functions Epithelial Functions protection absorption secretion transport barrier

  6. Muscle Tissue-functions Muscle Tissue Functions Contraction (force generation) -movement -structural support -glands -physiology

  7. Muscle Tissue-types-skeletal Skeletal Muscle -muscle fibers (cells) -long cells (35 cm) -multinucleate -in longitudinal section -long -striated -peripheral nuclei -unbranched

  8. Muscle Tissue-types-smooth muscle Smooth muscle -unstriated -central nucleus -appears smooth -central elongate nucleus -concentric layers -can be very thick -extended contraction -digestive system -blood vessels -uterus

  9. Muscle Tissue-types-cardiac muscle Cardiac Muscle -striated muscle -branched fibers -1-2 nuclei/cell (square/central) -intercalated disks -highly vascularized

  10. MyotoniaCongenita

  11. Nerve Tissue-functions Nervous Tissue Functions communication (signal conduction) -inter-cellular chemical -intra-cellular electrical -arranged in networks -sensory -motor

  12. Nerve Tissue-neurons Neurons -size, shape highly variable, asymmetric -dendrites = input (afferent) -axon = output (nerve fiber) (efferent) -cell bodies found in nervous tissue

  13. Blood Functions - transport -gases (O2, CO2) -nutrients -cells (leukocytes) -hormones - wound healing -clot formation -remodeling (scar)

  14. Connective Tissue-functions Connective Tissue Functions Maintain boundaries Structural support Cell adhesion and movement Protection Molecular exchange

  15. Connective Tissue-types Adipose connective tissue -each cell single fat vacuole -white fat -fat fat -energy storage

  16. Skeletal system-bone structure Bone
