Notes on histology Histology Lecture 1 Histology is the study of tissues: in our case‚ it means study of tissues which make up the human body. Tissue is defined as a group of cells which perform a common function. All the cells in a given tissue are not necessarily identical or similar e.g. blood is a type of connective tissue but it has many different types of cells. However‚ tissue also contains two other components i.e. ground substance (or matrix) and fibres. Despite the complexity of

Muscular System: Muscle Metabolism 1. List the three roles of ATP in muscle contraction: 1. _Energize the power stroke of the myosin cross bridge. 2. _Disconnecting the myosin head from the binding site on actin at the conclusion of a power stroke. 3. _Energizing the calcium ion pump. 2. The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken by a process called hydrolysis. Write the end products of this process: ATP (+ H2O) (

the four tissue types found in the human body. Describe an example of each type with their function and location. The four main tissues in the human body are connective‚ epithelium‚ muscle and nervous tissue. Connective tissue is an abundant nonliving extracellular matrix‚ located throughout the human body; such as the head‚ tendons‚ bone‚ and many more. It is the most widespread tissue in the human body and is the most durable tissue type. There are so many functions for this tissue‚ that it

Muscular Dystrophy: any of a group of hereditary diseases marked by progressive wasting of certain "muscles." (Oxford) A general term for a group of inherited disorders which are characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. A group of inherited progressive muscle disorders characterized by muscle weakness and eventual death of the muscle tissues. Examples include “Duchenne muscular dystrophy” and “Becker’s muscular dystrophy.” (NCIt) All of the muscles may be affected. Or‚ only

Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton and consists of large cells that bear striations and are under voluntary control. 2. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. 3. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and

Outline the structure of the main tissues of the body. In this assignment I’m going to talk about the structure of the main tissues which are found within the body as well as what their role is in the terms of two named organs of the body. Tissues are a collection of similar cells that group together to carry out a specific function within the body. There are four different types of tissue found in the human body which include; epithelial tissue; connective tissue; muscle tissue and nerve tissue. The first

Explain the process of muscle contraction and how a neuromuscular blocking agent‚ such as metubine‚ would interfere with muscle contraction. According to the Mayo Clinic website electroconvulsive treatment is the use of an electrical signal that sent through the brain to intentionally induce a brief seizure. They claim this procedure attempts to cause changes in a person’s brain chemistry in to help alleviate symptoms

Bone Tissue 5. Cartilage Tissue 6. Blood Tissue 7. Hemopoietic Connective tissue is useful for a variety of things. Some examples of the uses of this tissue type are storing fat‚ repairing tissue damage and protecting us against diseases. Muscle Tissue This tissue is made up of a large number
