Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 1AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The reason for considering nervous and muscular tissues are excitable tissue, even though excitability is a property of all living cells.
Introduction:
Humans and animals are the complex organisms made up of collection of cells to perform specific functions. These collection of cells are often called the tissues. Tissues arise from the embryonic origin that perform a specific physiological and structural role in an organ. Tissues perform specific functions, such as nerve signaling and nutrient digestion. There are four types of primary tissues, namely epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscular tissues.

Automaticityarrow_forwardIn 2003, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Paul C. Lauterbur and Sir Peter Mansfield for discoveries related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is a tool to see the structures of the body (not just the nervous system) that depends on magnetic fields associated with certain atomic nuclei. The utility of this technique in the nervous system is that fat tissue and water appear as different shades between black and white. Because white matter is fatty (from myelin) and gray matter is not, they can be easily distinguished in MRI images. Visit the Nobel Prize website (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nobel_2) to play an interactive game that demonstrates the use of this technology and compares it with other types of imaging technologies. Also, the results from an MRI session are compared with images obtained from x-ray or computed tomography. How do the imaging techniques shown in this game indicate the separation of white and gray matter compared with the freshly dissected tissue shown earlier?arrow_forwardA hypothetical organ has the following functional requirements : (1) the ability to resist surface abrasion and mechanical stresses;(2) the ability to contract involuntarily when stimulated by cells of the nervous system; and (3) the ability to resist tension in many different planes of force. The organ needs one tissue to carry out each of these requirements, and it also needs one tissue to " glue" all other tissues together, and one tissue to stimulate the contracting cells. What are the five tissues that will make up this hypothetical organ ? Justify your choices .arrow_forward
