Types of tissue

Epithelial


Muscle


Nervous


Connective

4 types

Study of the human body

Anatomy

Study of the function of the human body

Physiology

Study of the human movement

Kinesiology

Study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems

Psychonueroimmunology

The skin and lining of its cavities

Epithelial tissue

Tissues that contract and result in movement

Muscle tissue

3 types

Striated muscle tissue that can be voluntarily controlled, further divided into Type 1 & type 2 fibers

Skeletal muscle

Involuntary muscle that facilitates movement of internal organs and blood vessels (indirectly active)

Smooth muscle

Involuntary muscle cells that facilitate contraction of the chambers of the heart

Cardiac muscle

Tissue that comprises the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves; neurons send and receive information via nerve impulses

Nervous tissue

A group of tissues that aid in maintaining the structure of the body. Holds you up and together

Connective tissue

Fat cells; mainly located subcutaneously, in the abdomen, around the neck, near the heart; function as a pad, insulator, and lipid storage and production site

Adipose

Made up of red & white cells, platelets & plasma; transports nutrients & oxygen to cells


-Plasma is over 50% water- average adult has 5 liters in their body

Blood

Fibrous avascular tissue that connects bone to bone

Ligaments

Can take up to a year to heal

Fibrous avascular tissue that connects bone to bone

Tendons

Collagen-based connective tissue that compartmentalizes & provides structure to various tissues of the body

Fascia

# of bones in body

206

# of skeletal muscles

Over 600

Loose connective tissue

Cushions & protects organs; allows tissue to slide against one another

Cartilage

Avascular tissue that pads joint articulating surfaces, forms nose & ears; semi-mobile connector between bones (intervertebral discs)

3 categories: elastic, healing, & fibrocartilage

Primary curve

Infants are born with C shaped curve due to compression in the uterus

Secondary curves

Adult lumbar & cervical spine

Cervical

The neck, a secondary curve

7 vertebrae

Thoracic

The trunk & ribcage, a primary curve

12 vertebrae

Lumbar

The lower back, a secondary curve

5 vertebrae

Sacrum

A collection of fused vertebrae that allows the spine to interface with the pelvis & therefore the lower limbs

Coccyx

Largest bone in the body

Patella

Knee cap

Tibia

Lower leg, front

Fibula

Lower leg, back

Long bones

Dictate height

Hydration

It impacts the fluidity & movement of tissues
