• Muscle tissue: Cardiac and skeletal muscle
Cardiac and skeletal muscles have very few similarities and many differences. Firstly cardiac muscles location is found in the heart and the skeletal muscle location is found all over the body in every single bone present in humans.
The similarities of cardiac and skeletal to start with is that they are both striated muscle structured, but cardiac is lightly striated and skeletal is heavily striated. Now to describe the differences, initially cardiac muscles have either one or two nuclei, however skeletal muscles is multi nucleated (more than 2). Moving on to the shape of the two muscles, cardiac muscle has a semi spindle which is in fact shorter and wider than skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles …show more content…
The function of the squamous epithelial is that it works best for diffusion and filtration, due to the fact that it is one cell thick in other words very thin, so molecules are easily able to diffuse through the cell basement membrane allowing other nutrients to be supplied (oxygen and glucose), compared to ciliated columnar the shape is fairly wide and rectangular therefore the function is to move mucus through the cilia that is present in the respiratory …show more content…
Leukocytes function is to protect the body from infectious diseases. Erythrocytes function is delivering oxygen to organs and cells via the bloods circulatory system. Platelets function is to clot blood so that it prevents any blood loss. Firstly the main protein is called hemoglobin, functioning to transport oxygen to the entire body including every tissue from the lungs, then transporting c02 back to the lungs. Furthermore fibrinogen is a protein in the matrix which works with the platelets to make blood clots and globulin is another protein in the matrix which delivers antibodies. The last difference between the two connecting tissues is that the matrix in cartilage is not thick (semi rigid) the reason for this is that a shorter diffusion distance allows nutrients from blood capillaries to diffuse through. Secondly the matrix is providing cushion and strength to the tissue. On the other hand in blood the matrix is known as ‘plasma’ which is a liquid containing waste
