BIOL 2160 Chapter : 1 Introduction To Physiology
Document Summary
It may function as living but has no cells: tissue (nervous tissue, muscle tissue, organs (heart, liver, organ systems (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, organisms. The four major cell/tissue types- each has a function for it: neurons/nervous tissue (motor neurons, cortical interneurons, etc. ). Ideally suited for sending and receiving messages (communication) by electrical impulses: specialized for communicating with other cell types. Biology 2160: physiology: muscle cells/muscle tissue (cardiac myocytes, skeletal muscle, etc. ). Found on organs, glands, and lining body cavities: exchange- allowing things to cross, found on lining of body cavities, skin, glands, tissues inside mouth, nose, ears, etc, has protective barrier but allows things to move in or out. Biology 2160: physiology: connective tissue cells (bone cells, blood cells, fat cells, etc. ) Endocrine vs. exocrine: glands are forms of epithelial tissue. 1. 4: a highly simplified view of the overall plan of the human body.
