muscular
2
× Consists of myositis or
muscle fibers
× Produces body
movements, serves as
protection, maintains
posture, and generates
heat

3
× Classified based on its
location, and structural
and functional features

4
Classsification of
muscular tissue
5

 1. Skeletal muscle tissue
× Description: long, cylindrical, striated fibers with
many peripherally located nuclei, voluntary control
× Function: for motion, posture, heat production, and
protection

7
8
 2. Cardiac muscle tissue
× Description: branched striated fibers with one or
two centrally located nuclei; with intercalated
discs; involuntary movement
× Function: Pumps blood to all parts of the body

9
10
 3. Smooth muscle tissue
× Spindle shaped, nonstriated fibers, one centrally
located nucleus; involuntary control
× Function: Motion

11
12
NERVOUS
13
× Exhibits sensitivity to various stimuli
× Converts stimuli to nerve impulses
× Conducts nerve impulses to other
neurons, muscle fibers, or glands

14
15
× Consist of
neurons and
neuroglia

16
 Neurons/nerve cells
× Sensitive to various stimuli
× Convert stimuli into electrical
signals (action potentials/nerve
impulses
× Conduct action potentials to
other neurons, to muscle tissue,
or to glands

17
 Neurons/nerve cells
× 3 parts:
× Cell body – contains the nucleus
× Dendrites – tapering, highly branched;
major receiving part of the neuron
× Axon – thin, single, cylindrical process;
output portion of the neuron

18
 NEUROGLIA/GLIAL CELLS
× Do not conduct
nerve impulses
× Have important
supportive function
