1 Muscle and Nerve Tissue

2 Muscle and Nervous Muscle Tissues: Capable of contracting or shortening Moves body parts Produce heat

3 Muscles Tissue Types 1. Skeletal (striated) 2. Smooth 3. Cardiac

4 Skeletal (Striated) Muscle Under voluntary control. Thin cells that extend the entire length of muscle; multinucleated. Location: Attached to bones through entire body Function: Body movement, heat production

5 Smooth Muscle Unstriated, under involuntary control. Cells are longer but tapered at the ends; single nucleated, nucleus located in the middle of cell Location: Walls of organs, blood vessels, eyes, glands, and skin Function: Move products internally

6 Cardiac Muscle Striated; involuntary control Single cells with intercalated disks – cell to cell attachment points for communication. Location: Heart Function: Blood movement via heart contraction

7 Nervous Tissue Sensitive to change in surrounding Coordinate, regulate, and integrate body functions. Function: Receive and Transmit Signals. Location: Brains, Spinal Cord
