Answer: - forms large muscle for gross movement
(long)
◉ smooth muscle tissue
Answer: walks of visceral organs, blood vessels for elasticity,
contractility and support
(short)
◉ cardiac muscle tissue
Answer: circulates blood and maintain BP
◉ nervous tissue
Answer: specialised for the conduction of electrical impulses from
one body region to another
2 types: neurones and glial cells
, ◉ neurones
Answer: nerve cells initiate, receive, conduct and transmit
information
◉ glial cells
Answer: support neurons
◉ function of blood
Answer: - transport: transport gases, nutrients, hormones and
metabolic wastes around the body
- defence: leukocytes defend against toxins and pathogens, restrict
fluid loss at injury sites due to its clotting factors and platelets
◉ blood in homeostasis
Answer: - maintain body temperature through buffers
- regulation of pH and ion composition of intestinal fluids by losing
or gaining heat from environment and distributing heat around body
◉ blood clotting process
Answer: fibrinogen is converted to fibrin and sticks yo the damaged
area, creating mesh web that entraps blood cells and platelets
◉ plasma protein
