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