Document Summary

Specify the functions of skeletal muscle tissue: moves or stabilizes the position of the skeleton, guards entrances and exits to the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts, generates heat, protects internal organs. Describe the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal. Cells re long, cylindrical, striated, and multinucleated. Combined with connective tissues and neural tissue in skeletal muscles: cardiac. Cells are short, branched, and striated, usually with a single nucleus. Located in the heart: smooth cells are short, spindle-shaped, and non-striated, with a single central nucleus found in the walls of blood vessels and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive organs. Moves food, urine, and reproductive tract secretions controls diameter of respiratory passageways regulates diameter of blood vessels. Describe the organization of connective tissue associated with muscle: dense regular connective tissue. Between skeletal muscles and skeleton (tendons and aponeuroses) Between bones or stabilizing positions of internal organs (ligaments)
