Examples: brain, sensory receptors, nerves, and spinal cord
Function: Type of tissue that transmits nerve impulses (information) throughout the body
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Independent variable
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Not a variable.
Structure: Long and slender like a wire so that electrical impulses can travel along it quickly
Examples: Skeletal (biceps, triceps), cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth (organ muscles)
Structure: Cells that are tightly packed and have a definite top and bottom that is very strong.
Function: A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move.
Function: Covers the body surface and organs like a wall to keep the inside and outside separate.
Structure: Contains long & narrow cells that allow them to pull like a rubber band.
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Dependent variable
Structure: Cells with jelly like material and with spindly fibers
Examples: Skin, outer layer of organs, lining of tubes, body cavities
Examples: Ligament, Cartilage, bone, tendon, blood
How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Controlled variable
Specialized group of similar cells that work together to perform a function
Function: A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts
