Document Summary
List the four basic types of tissues in the body. Describe functions of each of the major types of cell junctions. Describe how the structure of cell organization is related to tissue function. Describe the features of each basic type of body tissue. Describe how different tissue types differ structurally and functionally. Explain the function and characteristics of a membrane. Muscle tissue: contracts to make body parts move, generates heat. Contact points between the plasma membranes of tissue cells. Consists of web-like strands of transmembrane proteins that fuse together the outer surfaces of adjacent plasma membranes to seal off passageways between adjacent cells. Inhibit the passage of substances between cells and prevent the contents of these organs from leaking into the blood or surrounding tissues. The cells of the epithelial tissue that line the stomach, intestines, and urinary bladder have many tight junctions: important to maintain consistent, undividable connection between cells.
