Question

“tissues, part 1: crash course a&p #2”: 1. groups of similar cells working together to perform a specific function are called ____________. 2. the type of tissue defines its __________. 3. __________ is the study of our tissues. 4. anton van leeunwenhoek’s work earned him the title of the father of __________. 5. the cells that gerlach studied are today known as __________. 6. that tissue (#6) is made of two specialized types of cells: __________ & __________. 7. neurons are the __________ of the nervous system. 8. no matter where in the body they are, the neurons have the same anatomy: the cell body is the neuron’s __________. the dendrites __________ signals from other cells. the long, rope - like axon __________ signals to other cells. 9. the glial cells are like the neuron’s ____________. 10. there are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. complete the table below with information about these tissues.

tissue	striations?	multinucleated?	voluntary?	where’s it found?
skeletal	yes
cardiac
smooth			no

Explanation:

1. Tissues are groups of similar cells with a specific function.
2. Tissue type determines its function.
3. Histology is the study of tissues.
4. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek is the father of microbiology.
5. Gerlach studied nerve - tissue cells.
6. Nerve tissue has neurons and glial cells.
7. Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system.
8. The cell body is the control center, dendrites receive signals, and axons transmit signals.
9. Glial cells support neurons.
10. For muscle tissues: Skeletal is striated, multinucleated, voluntary, and attached to bones; Cardiac is striated, usually uninucleated, involuntary, and in the heart; Smooth is non - striated, uninucleated, involuntary, and in internal organs.

Answer:

1. Tissues
2. Function
3. Histology
4. Microbiology
5. Nerve - tissue cells
6. Neurons; Glial cells
7. Basic units
8. Control center; Receive; Transmit
9. Support cells

10.

Tissue	Striations?	Multinucleated?	Voluntary?	Where's it Found?
