Tissues

1. Structure

   Annotations:

   • Sheets of cells are thin and delicate. Found in the capillaries.
2. Function

   Annotations:

   • Found in places where protective covering needs to let substances pass through. e.g alveolar walls- during the process of respiration, the oxygen diffused into the alveolar wall into the bloodstream through the squamous tissue. In the capillaries, the walls need to let oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose pass through.

1. Structure

   Annotations:

   • cells are only 1 layer, but the shape is more cuboid so it is stronger. It can withstand a lot more trauma than, for example, the alveolus wall.
2. Function

   Annotations:

   • Allows substances ti pass through by diffusion- for example, the water in the kidney tubules. It is good at getting rid of substances e.g medines inn the kidneys tubules.

1. Structure

   Annotations:

   • often have goblet cells inbetween them.
2. Function

   Annotations:

   •  Goblet cells produce mucous. Microvolli on the top of the the cells move the mucous. The mucous traps the dust and germs. The mucous is carries up out trachea by the microvilli and we sneeze/cough the dust and germs out

1. Structure

   Annotations:

   • the skin layers on top of our skin are flat layers that are dead-filled with a protein called keratin The layers under the skin are cuboidal and divide to form cells (found in dust at home!)
2. Function

   Annotations:

   • the keratin in th cell makes our skin waterproof so the water doesnt seep into out body  through our skin.

1. Structure

   Annotations:

   • Found in moist cavities or tubes with in the body e.g the mouth, cornea and oesophagus
2. Function

   Annotations:

   • cells on the surface are 'sloughed off' through friction (think inside of your mouth with teeth) these cells are replaces by cuboidal cells underneath. 

Annotations:

• It is striated which means its got bands running along it

Annotations:

• Also known as striated. Its under conscious control. It moves the skeleton and tissues including limbs, fingers and controlling facial expressions.

Annotations:

• it is smooth, not striated. It moves subconsciously

Annotations:

• purpose is smooth muscle is to narrow muscles. Smooth muscle tissue is under subconscious control. An example of smooth muscle is: It helps food move down the gastrointestinal tract. It breaks the food down and flushes fluds through the body. Another example is when we swallow, our oesophagus squeezes the food/drink down. 

Annotations:

• It is striated, so is subconsciously controlled

Annotations:

• Cardiac Muscle is the heart muscle. It moves subconsciously.

Annotations:

• snesitive to temperature, brightness  and pressue

Annotations:

• They transfer nerve impulses around the body. Sensory neurons receive information which gives action whereas the motor neurons send the message to muscles telling them to act.

Annotations:

• To carry oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body

Annotations:

• found inside blood vessels blood has many componants, the main one being plasma

Annotations:

• support and cushion because ts softer than bone, It gives flexibility but has less stability than bone

Annotations:

• flexible tissues that are loacted around the body

Annotations:

• Main structure and supportive tissues of the body. forms hard rigid structure of skeletal system.

Annotations:

• Main structural and supportive tissue of the body

Annotations:

• Known as fat tissue and is mainly made of adipose. Mainly found under the skinsbut can sometimes be found between muscles.

Annotations:

• Its function is to keep us warm and to store energy
