Study Notes
Neural Plexus and GI Function
- The enteric nervous system (ENS) is responsible for regulating GI blood flow and epithelial function.
- The myenteric plexus aids in the motility, contraction, and relaxation of smooth muscle.
Basic Tissues
- The four basic tissues are: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
- Epithelial tissue is NOT one of the following: areolar, blood, bone, cartilage, adipose.
Epithelium
- Epithelium is one of the four basic tissues.
- Epithelial cells are tightly packed and organized to form a barrier or lining.
- The shape and arrangement of epithelial cells are correlated with their function.
