contains junctions that keep the cells tight to each other and
exchanging signals through transmitters.
Location:
- walls of the heart

NERVOUS TISSUE

Spinal cord Nerve (myelinated)

 Function: this myelinated nerve or axon
provides faster impulses because of its myelin
sheath and avoided loss impulses because of its
cover.
Features: this myelin acts as an insulator for
electric signals, reducing energy requirements
for the needed action.
Location:
Myelinated axon- white matter of the brain
Function: main support of the body, connects - spinal cord
the brain and the body. Controls allover body - central nervous system
movements. Transfers signals in other parts of - cranial system
the body.
Features: this composed of white matter which
processes and sends signals up and down the
spinal cord. Grey matter processes information,
movements, memory and emotions.
Location: from top or the neck in the bottom
part of medulla oblongata down to the conus
medullaris

Nerves Nerves (unmyelinated)

Function: this carries the electrical signal all
over the body to help the muscles move, to feel
sensation and to bring action to organs that is
autonomic like breathing, heart pumping etc.
Features: sensory nerves that carries impulses
to sensations such as, taste, touch, smell.
Motor nerves which carries impulses to the
muscles and our glands to help us move.
Location:
- nervous system
- all over body
INTEGUMENTARY TISSUES
Function: this axon can distribute impulses
evenly axon to axon in a much slower
conduction than the myelinated axon.

myelin sheet. The nodes of ranvier are not
visible.

and relaxation of the heart for pumping
autonomously without damaging the rhythm by
using its cardiac muscles.

providing tight junctions to overcome heavy
contraction and to pass cell to cell the electric
impulses by communication signals.
Nucleus- single and centrally located
surrounded by sarcolemma

in exchange to the de-oxygenated blood that
came from the organs all over the body

adjusting its flow and pressure for the tiny
arteries to carry
Location:

epidermis, cornea, cartilages
 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM TISSUE

Trachea Lung
Function: this pipe carries oxygen when we
inhale and carbon dioxide when we exhale and
waste gas out of the body.

Widens up and increases length as we breathe
and returns back to its resting size. Unlike
esophagus trachea stays open for continuous
airways.
Location:
- under the larynx

- lower neck
- between top lobes of the lungs
Function: exchanging the gases. Oxygen enters
the body and enters blood and deploy in every
organ in exchange to carbon dioxide inside our
body and becomes waste gas that exits our
body.

lobes, larger than the left lung.
Left lungs- doesn’t have middle lobe, has only
two lobes, narrow and long.
