Muscle and Nervous Tissue Pages 97-101 Function: ◦ contract (shorten) to produce movement Three types: 1. Skeletal muscle 2. Cardiac muscle 3. Smooth muscle © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Voluntary (consciously) control Attach to bones or skin Produce: ◦ gross body movements ◦ facial expressions Cell Characteristics: ◦ Striations (stripes) ◦ Multinucleate (more than one nucleus) ◦ Long, cylindrical shape © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.20a Type of muscle tissue and their common locations in the body. Nuclei Part of muscle fiber (a) Diagram: Skeletal muscle Photomicrograph: Skeletal muscle (195×) Involuntar control only in the heart Pumps blood through blood vessels Characteristics of cardiac muscle cells ◦ Striations ◦ One nucleus, short, branching cells Look somewhat like bamboo ◦ Intercalated discs: Areas between cells which contain gap junctions to connect cells together so that the impulse spreads across the heart synchronously © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.20b Type of muscle tissue and their common locations in the body. Intercalated discs Nucleus (b) Diagram: Cardiac muscle Photomicrograph: Cardiac muscle (475×) Compare the two- note the differences Skeletal Cardiac Involuntary control Location: where constricting and enlarging is required ◦ walls of hollow organs Peristalsis: a wavelike activity that moves digested material through the small intestine ◦ blood vessels Characteristics: ◦ No visible striations ◦ Single nucleus ◦ Spindle-shaped cells © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.20c Type of muscle tissue and their common locations in the body. Smooth muscle cell Nuclei (c) Diagram: Smooth muscle Photomicrograph: Sheet of smooth muscle (285×) Two groups of cells: ◦ Neurons ◦ Neuroglia (glial cells) these insulate, protect, and support neurons Function: receive and conduct electrochemical impulses to and from body parts ◦ Irritability ◦ Conductivity © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
