BIOL108 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Intercalated Disc, Nerve Growth Factor, Ph
Document Summary
8th march 2018: lecture six tissues and human organisation: types of tissue: (muscular tissue) The cells in muscle tissue = muscle fibers. In the muscle fibers contains filaments of protein called actin and myosin. The three types of muscle tissue include: Attached to the skeleton by connective tissue. It lines the digestive system, arteries and uterus. Communication channels (intercalated disks) ensure that muscle cells contract in unison: comparison of muscle tissues: Striations (series of ridges or linear marks) which are proteins (actin and myosin) that in a certain arrangement. It forms the wall of hollow internal organs such as the stomach and intestines (moving food along with involuntary contractions) Branched striated cells with a single nucleus. Communication channels across the intercalated discs that instruct the contractions of the heartbeat: types of tissues (nervous tissue) It functions in sensory input, transportation of the stimulus and coordination of the response according to the input. It is composed of neurons and neuroglia cells.
