Muscle Tissue: Nervous Tissue: -Smooth -Neurons -Cardiac -Neuroglia -Skeletal What are the types of muscle tissue? Contracts involuntarily Non-striated Found in walls of stomach, uterus, intestines, bladder, arteries, veins & eyes What are the types of muscle tissue? Contracts involuntarily Striated Found in the heart muscle Activated by brain or hormones What are the types of muscle tissue? Contracts voluntarily Striated Connected to bones of the skeleton Controlled by somatic nervous system What are the types of nervous tissue? Make up 10% of all nerve cells Convert stimuli into nerve impulses Pass impulses to other neurons, muscle fibers, or glands Unable to regenerate What are the types of nervous tissue? Make up 90% of all nerve cells Support & protect neurons Do not generate nerve impulses Able to regenerate after injury Summary: Muscle tissue is used for movement, but can be voluntarily or involuntarily controlled. Nervous tissue is mostly comprised of neuroglia which support neurons. The neurons transport impulses around the body.
