Independent variable 3 Examples: Skin, outer layer of organs, lining of tubes, body cavities 4 Examples: Skeletal (biceps, triceps), cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth (organ muscles) 5 Specialized group of similar cells that work together to perform a function 6 Structure: Contains long & narrow cells that allow them to pull like a rubber band. 7 Structure: Cells that are tightly packed and have a definite top and bottom that is very strong. 8 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Controlled variable 9 Function: Type of tissue that transmits nerve impulses (information) throughout the body 10 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Dependent variable 11 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Not a variable. 12 Function: A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move. 13 Examples: Ligament, Cartilage, bone, tendon, blood 14 Structure: Long and slender like a wire so that electrical impulses can travel along it quickly 15 Function: A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts 16 Examples: brain, sensory receptors, nerves, and spinal cord 17 Structure: Cells with jelly like material and with spindly fibers Connective Tissue General Cell Shape/Structure Type of organism Nervous tissue examples Epithelial tissue examples Muscle tissue examples Type of tissue Example of Connective Tissue Number of cells Microscope used to identify the number of cells Connective Tissue Function Nervous Tissue Structure Epithelial Tissue Function Muscle Tissue General Cell Shape/Structure Epithelial Tissue General Cell Shape/Structure Muscle Tissue Function Nervous Tissue Function: Tissues definition
