Dependent variable 9 Structure: Contains long & narrow cells that allow them to pull like a rubber band. 10 Examples: Skin, outer layer of organs, lining of tubes, body cavities 11 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Independent variable 12 Structure: Long and slender like a wire so that electrical impulses can travel along it quickly 13 Specialized group of similar cells that work together to perform a function 14 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Controlled variable 15 Examples: brain, sensory receptors, nerves, and spinal cord 16 Structure: Cells that are tightly packed and have a definite top and bottom that is very strong. 17 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Not a variable.
