Connective tissue

Marfan syndrome is an inherited, autosomal dominant disease that affects the Fibrillin-1 gene. The research will investigate the efficiency of the beta-blocker therapy, a common treatment for cardiac complications. The scientists will also explore the cause of Marfan syndrome, and provide evidence on the theory of TGF-ß causing particular Marfan syndrome symptoms. In brief, with funding, an experiment on patients, ages 5-20, will be asked to receive either the beta-blocker therapy or the…

Tissues are a group of cells with a common structure and function. There are four main tissues in the body. Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue are the four main types that make up the human body. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities, hollow organs, and ducts. It covers the body surfaces and forms glands. Connective tissue binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat, and provides immunity. It protects and supports the body and its organs. Muscular tissue generates the…

specific types of tissues and organs. Without cell differentiation, no organism would be able to survive as cell differentiation is very vital for any living creature as it’s needed to make unique cells…

In a human body, there are four core classifications of tissues, which are epithelial tissue (plural form epithelium), connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue. And each of these tissues has its own unique function in our body that makes us a perfect complement function organism. In the beginning, the simplest structural elements or atoms such as calcium (Ca +2) or sodium (Na +1) involve in the basic unit of living matter. These matters combine to form other matters like the fusion…

types of tissue represented in the chicken lab dissection were connective, muscular, and epithelial tissue. Each of these three tissue are related and serve the body to allow it to function. Both the epithelial and connective tissues provide protection. Epithelial tissues protect exposed and internal surfaces, while connective tissue protects internal organs. Connective and muscular tissue both transport fluids and essential substances throughout the body. Separately, epithelium tissue controls…

Task 1 Unit 11 Diagram Task 2 Unit 11 Four main tissue types Epithelial tissues One of the main tissue type are the one that characterize the epithelium .The epithelial tissues are used as cover for the all of our body surface both internal and external .Our epithelium it is formed by cells tissues that are one cell thick which make up the simple epithelium and from cells which are two or more cell thick which make up the stratified epithelium. The Simple Epithelium is made of…

mitosis and create the cells of the more superficial layers. Its function is to protect underlying tissues in areas that may be harmed. A non-keratinized form can be located in moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, vagina, urethra, and anus. However, a keratinized form can be located in the epidermis of the skin a dry membrane (Antranik,…

squamous epithelium consisting of 4 distinct cell types (keratinocytes, melanocytes, Merkel cells, and Langerhans’ cells) and 4-5 distinct layers. The underlying dermis makes up a bulk of the skin. It is a tough, leathery layer composed of fibrous connective tissue. The dermis is the only vascularized region of the skin because of the nerves and blood vessels in the region. Thick skin covers the palms, soles of feet, and the fingertips.…

microvascular and neural components to support the epidermis. The dermal papillae increase the surface area that the epidermis and dermal papillae interact for a greater exchange between soluble molecules. The papillary region consists of loose connective tissue which is characterized by a thin, poorly organized bundles of collagen fiber, which consist primarily of type I and type III collagen.12 Collagen fibers that are located in the papillary dermis contain a greater amount of collagen type…

What are the nonpolar parts of a phospholipid? c. Tail group 4. This is the only polar portion of a cholesterol molecule and it forms hydrogen bonds with the polar heads of phospholipids. d. –OH group 5. This type of membrane protein will extend throughout the entire membrane touching both the Intracellular fluid and the Extracellular fluid. e. Integral proteins f. Transmembrane proteins g. Integral proteins and Transmembrane proteins Ans: D…
