6 types |
|
|
description and function of loose connectives tissue |
protein fibers well-spaced apart widely distributed throughout body |
|
|
|
description and function of dense connectives tissue |
closely packed tendon,wall of arteries |
|
|
|
description and function of cartilage |
tough n flexible provide mechanical strength withstand compression n stretching |
|
|
|

hard calcified matrix provide structural support calcium storage |
|
|
|
description and function of blood |
mixture of rbc, wbc, surrounded by plasma transport antibodies, gases, nutrients, waste |
|
|
|

skeletal cardiac smooth contact to bring about movement |
|
|
|
types of nervous tissue and function |
forms part of nervous system consisting of brain, spinal cord, nerves consist of neurons that transmit nerve impulses support cells that protect, insulate and support neurons |
|
|
|
description of membrane and types of membrane |
thin layer of tissue that encloses/ lies on cavity mucous serous cutaneous synovial |
|
|
|
location and function of mucous membrane |
lining of digestive, respiratory and urinary tracts protection secretion absorption |
|
|
|
location and function of serous membrane |
lining of heart, lungs prevents damage from abrasion |
|
|
|
location and function of cutaneous membrane |
skin protection barrier prevent h2o loss |
|
|
|
location and function of synovial membrane |
lining of joint cavities joint lubricant |
|
|
|
what is homeostasis |
maintenance of relatively constant environment within body usually within narrow normal range fluctuate around set point |
|
|
|
types of feedback from homeostasis |
positive and negative feedback |
|
|
|
explain negative feedback |
stimulus detected (something out of norm) sensory receptors transmit signal to the control center (brain n spinal cord) control center send a signal to the effector effector reacts to signal and brings things back to normal thus maintaining homeostasis |
|
|
|
explain positive feedback |
when variable deviates from norm system response by making variable deviate further, response occur in same direction as initial disturbance positive feedback does not maintain homeostasis and rarely occurs eg: childbirth |
