The following types of muscle tissue and nervous tissue are • covered in this activity: • 1. Skeletal muscle (muscles attached to the skeleton) • 2. Smooth muscle (muscles lining hollow organs) • 3. Cardiac muscle (heart) • Nervous tissue (nervous system)
Various membranes are also covered: • Cutaneous membranes • Mucous membranes • Serous membranes (parietal and visceral layers) • a. Peritoneum – abdominal organs • b. Pericardium – heart • c. Pleura – lungs
Figure 4.10a Muscle tissues. (a) Skeletal muscle Description: Long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells; obvious striations. Striations Function: Voluntary movement; locomotion; manipulation of the environment; facial expression; voluntary control. Nuclei Location: In skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin. Part of muscle fiber (cell) Photomicrograph: Skeletal muscle (approx. 460x). Notice the obvious banding pattern and the fact that these large cells are multinucleate.
Figure 4.10b Muscle tissues. (b) Cardiac muscle Description: Branching, striated, generally uninucleate cells that interdigitate at specialized junctions (intercalated discs). Striations Intercalated discs Function: As it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control. Location: The walls of the heart. Nucleus Photomicrograph: Cardiac muscle (500X); notice the striations, branching of cells, and the intercalated discs.
Figure 4.10c Muscle tissues. (c) Smooth muscle Description: Spindle-shaped cells with central nuclei; no striations; cells arranged closely to form sheets. Smooth muscle cell Function: Propels substances or objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passage- ways; involuntary control. Location: Mostly in the walls of hollow organs. Nuclei Photomicrograph: Sheet of smooth muscle (200x).
Figure 4.9 Nervous tissue. Nervous tissue Description: Neurons are branching cells; cell processes that may be quite long extend from the nucleus-containing cell body; also contributing to nervous tissue are nonirritable supporting cells (not illustrated). Nuclei of supporting cells Cell body Neuron processes Axon Dendrites Cell body of a neuron Function: Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors (muscles and glands) which control their activity. Neuron processes Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Photomicrograph: Neurons (350x)
