Study Notes
- The text discusses different levels of organization in the body, starting from cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the organism as a whole.
- Cells are the basic unit of life, and they come together to form tissues.
- Two or more tissue types make up an organ, such as a blood vessel.
- Organs work together to form organ systems, like the cardiovascular system.
- The human body consists of multiple organ systems, including the muscular, reproductive, lymphatic, respiratory, and digestive systems.
- Nervous tissue is associated with the nervous system and is composed of neurons and neuroglia.
- Neurons are excitable cells that transmit electrical signals for communication and control in the body. They typically have many branches.
- Neuroglia are supportive cells that do not transmit electrical signals. They come in various types and outnumber neurons in the body.
- Muscle tissue is involved in movement and comes in three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
- Skeletal muscle contracts and pulls on bones to produce movement.
- Cardiac muscle contracts to pump blood in the heart.
- Smooth muscle is found in various organs and can contract to produce movement or perform secondary functions like thermal regulation.
- Muscle tissue has four key properties: extensibility, elasticity, contractility, and excitability.
- Extensibility refers to the ability to stretch and return to original size.
- Elasticity refers to the ability to stretch and recoil.
- Contractility refers to the ability to shorten.
- Excitability refers to the ability to respond to electrical signals.
- Epithelial tissue is not discussed in the text, but it is a type of tissue that covers the body's external and internal surfaces and lines the various body cavities. It plays a role in protection, secretion, absorption, and sensory perception.
