    Humans are constantly in motion and working even while sleep so if humans had just one type of tissues that would most likely stress the body and mind. For example If a person 's joints contain heart tissue then him or hers joints could possibly tear or rip. The human body has to no be stressed to function effectively and that is the advantage of having so many different type of cells, moreover, the…

    abrasion and reduces water loss. It have four cell types and five layers. The dermis made of strong, flexible dense irregular connective tissue. It contains the blood vessels, nerve fibers and lymphatic vessels. The sweat glands and the hair follicles live in the dermis layer. The hypodermis is deep to the skin. It is made of adipose and areolar connective tissue. It is not part of the skin. The hypodermis stores fat and connects the skin to the muscles. 2. In first burns only the epidermis is…

    reduce adolescent obesity. For example, KISS, a cluster randomized control study of long-term effects of a School- based physical activity programs involved school age children over a three year time. The children were measured for their BMI and adipose levels at the beginning of the exercise program. The exercise program lasted 1 year then stopped. The children were then measured a year later and then again in 3 years. After the first year there was a minimal response or lowering of the BMI…

    Compare and Contrast different Tissue types – M1 Comparison between Connective Tissue and Epithelial Tissue Similarities: There are many similarities between connective and epithelial tissues. One of which is that both the connective and epithelial tissues have at least 2 layers. A similarity between the connective and epithelial tissues related to the organelles present and its functions is that they both have nucleus and mitochondria, so both need the production of energy to function and…

    ATP from Free fatty Acids:- The other two energy substrates, FFAs and AAs, bypass glycolysis and ultimately enter the TCA cycle/oxidative phosphorylation as pyruvate, acetyl CoA, or different components of the TCA cycle. FFAs are released from adipose tissue by lipolysis and circulate in blood bound to serum albumin. Transport proteins then translocate FFAs into cells. FFAs are metabolized in mitochondria by the repetitive, cyclic process of β oxidation. This requires the transport of FFAs into…

    • 3 Pages

    major layers that make up healthy skin are the epidermis, dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis). The epidermis is a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium that resists abrasion and reduces water loss. It consists of four distinct cell types and five layers. The dermis, the second major skin region containing strong, flexible connective tissue. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. Also, the dermis contains the blood vessels, nerve fibers and lymphatic vessels. The…

    phosphorylation occurs to signal intracellular reactions. Target cells for insulin includes muscle, liver, and fat cells. Muscle cells are forced by insulin to either store glucose in the form of glycogen or use it for reactions such as glycolysis. Adipose connective tissue is stimulated to perform lipogenesis, and inhibit lipolysis, while glycogenesis is stimulated in hepatocytes. These reactions, then, simultaneously lowers fatty acids and glucose within the bloodstream and stores them as fat…

    have the ability to regenerate their tails after being ripped off, scientists thought that maybe the same regenerating tissue ( stem cells ) could be used in humans as well. This means injuries, such as fractures, can be fixed by placing these cells to the site of the injury. The stem cells build themselves up and fix the break by regeneration and multiplying; the damaged tissue is quickly restored. Stem cells are already found throughout our bodies; when something in us needs repair, they begin…

    in conterregulatory hormone levels; Glucagon, cortisol, catecholamines, and growth hormone. Insulin deficiency causes hyperglycaemia, as glucose can no longer be utilised in insulin-dependent tissues such as muscle and adipose tissue. This means the body has to use energy from fatty acids in adipose tissue. The fatty acids travel to the liver and are converted to ketoacids, in turn potentially causing ketoacidosis, which can be life…

    to greater energy consumption and expenditure. Most of obesity is not due to hyperthyroidism, but most obesity is due to a disruption in energy and weight regulation although obesity is regarded as a disorder of excess adipose tissue, people who are obese also have excess lean tissue as well. The obese person has greater bone and greater muscle mass to support the heavier weight. Often, this is most noticeable in obese children and men. Obese men are a little taller than average which tends to…
