# data[].attributes.body
function: supports, reinforces, serves as a resilient cushion

Found at tips of long bones, nose, trachea, larynx, and cartilage of the ribs

# data[].attributes.body
Function: Neurons transmit

electrical signals from sensory

receptors and to effectors

(muscles and glands); supporting

cells support and protect neurons.Location: Brain, spinal

cord, and nerves.

Location: walls of heart

Function: pumps the heart

Involuntary muscle

Cell Description:

Like skeletal muscle, contains striations; but cells have only one nucleus

Cells can have many branches that join branches of other cardiac cells

Intercalated discs are special joints where cardiac cells are joined; synchronizing contractions

# data[].attributes.body
Location: mainly in walls of hollow organs (other than heart)

Function: propels substances or objects along internal passage ways

Involuntary muscle

Cell Description:

Has no visible striations

Spindle-shaped cells with one nucleus

# data[].attributes.body
Location: Attached to the bones

Function: causes movement of the bones

Also called voluntary muscles

Skeletal muscles can be consciously controlled

# data[].attributes.body
Function: Allows tissue to recoil after stretching; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries; aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration.

# data[].attributes.body
Function: Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.

Location: found in dermis and joints, ligaments

Function: Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.

Location: found in dermis and joints, ligaments

# data[].attributes.body
Resembles areolar tissue, but fibers are thinner reticular fibers

Function: Reticular fibers form a mesh-like stroma that acts as a support for blood cells in lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow

# data[].attributes.body
Fat tissue

Similar to areolar tissue but greater nutrient storage

Richly vascularized

Functions: shock absorption, insulation, and energy storage

# data[].attributes.body
Functions: Universal packing material between other tissues; supports and binds other tissues

Location: widely distributed under the epithelia of the body. Packages organs

# data[].attributes.body
Function: durability

Example: Located in areas of high wear and tear, skin

# data[].attributes.body
Function: Involved in secretion, particularly of mucus, and also in movement of mucus via ciliary sweeping action

Ex. trachea

# data[].attributes.body
Function: in absorption, secretion and movement of mucus and enzymes, and other substances
Example: in small intestine gallbladder

# data[].attributes.body
Function: secretion and absorption

Example: smallest ducts of glands, kidney  tubules

# data[].attributes.body
Function: rapid diffusion

Example:  lungs, blood vessels

# data[].attributes.body
Major functions: binding and support, protecting, insulating, storing reserve fuel, and transporting substances (blood)

# data[].attributes.body
Main functions: protection, absorption, and secretion
