Not a variable. 10 Examples: brain, sensory receptors, nerves, and spinal cord 11 Function: A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts 12 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Controlled variable 13 Examples: Skin, outer layer of organs, lining of tubes, body cavities 14 Function: Covers the body surface and organs like a wall to keep the inside and outside separate. 15 Examples: Skeletal (biceps, triceps), cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth (organ muscles) 16 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains?
