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.
