Presentation Transcript

  1. Muscle Tissue: composed of cells (‘fibers’) specialized for contraction • Skeletal

  2. Muscle Tissue: composed of cells (‘fibers’) specialized for contraction • Skeletal • Cardiac

  3. Muscle Tissue: composed of cells (‘fibers’) specialized for contraction • Skeletal • Cardiac • Smooth

  4. Muscle Tissue: composed of cells (‘fibers’) specialized for contraction • Skeletal • Cardiac • Smooth • All muscle tissues have a reticular fiber matrix

  5. Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Composed of closely packed skeletal muscle cells

  6. Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Features of skeletal muscle cells: • Striated • Can be very long • Multinucleated • Cannot divide, but new cells can be produced from “satellite cells” • Require neural stimulation

  7. Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Features of skeletal muscle cells: • Striated • Can be very long • Multinucleated • Cannot divide, but new cells can be produced from “satellite cells” • Require neural stimulation • Voluntary

  8. Functions of Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Voluntary movement

  9. Functions of Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Voluntary movement • Forms some sphincters

  10. Functions of Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Voluntary movement • Forms some sphincters • Protection of some organs • Stabilization of some joints • Posture • Heat production

  11. Cardiac muscle tissue • Features of cardiac muscle cells • Striated • Branched • Intercalated disks • Cannot divide • No satellite cells • Contract rhythmically

  12. Cardiac muscle tissue • Features of cardiac muscle cells • Striated • Branched • Intercalated disks • Cannot divide • No satellite cells • Contract rhythmically • No neural stimulation required

  13. Smooth muscle tissue • Composed of smooth muscle cells • Features of smooth muscle cells • Non-striated • May not require neural stimulation • Can divide • Involuntary

  14. Functions of smooth muscle • Internal movement of food, etc. • Blood vessel diameter • Bronchiole diameter • Pupil diameter

  15. Neural Tissue • Composed of neurons and glial cells (neuroglia)

  16. Neural Tissue • Features of neurons

  17. Neural Tissue • Features of neurons • Cell body (soma)

  18. Neural Tissue • Features of neurons • Cell body (soma)

  19. Neural Tissue • Features of neurons • Cell body (soma) • Dendrites

  20. Neural Tissue • Features of neurons • Cell body (soma) • Dendrites • Axons (nerve fibers)

  21. Neural Tissue • Features of neurons • Cell body (soma) • Dendrites • Axons (nerve fibers) • Cannot divide (?)

  22. Neural tissue arranged as ‘grey matter’ and ‘white matter’
