Which of the following is included in excitable tissues?
Cutaneous epithelium, nerves, muscles
What is the criterion of the threshold level of tissue excitation?

What is the minimal stimulus intensity that is still able to induce excitation known as?
Sub-threshold

Study Notes
Tissue Response to Stimulation
- Tissues able to respond to stimulation by active physiological reaction known as excitation
Excitable Tissues
- Nerve and muscle tissues are examples of excitable tissues that respond to stimulation
Tissue Excitation Criterion
- The criterion of the threshold level of tissue excitation is the minimum intensity of stimulus required to generate a response
Minimal Stimulus Intensity
- The minimal stimulus intensity that is still able to induce excitation is known as the threshold stimulus
Fluid-Mosaic Model of Membrane Structure
- The essence of the fluid-mosaic model of membrane structure is a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, allowing for selective permeability and dynamic function
