The Tissue Level of Organization Tissues- collections of cells that perform a specific function and work
together to form tissues
- There are 4 types of tissues:
1. Neural tissue
2. Muscle tissue
3. Connective tissue
4. Epithelial tissue
1. Neural Tissue
Neurons are specialized to carry electric impulses
They consist of a nerve cell body, the axon, and the dendrite
2. Muscle Tissue
Muscle cells are specialized to contract and relax using actin and myosin
protein fibers. In hard working cells, there are so many actin and myosin
fibers that they appear as stripes called striations
- Skeletal or striated muscle
- Smooth muscle
- Cardiac muscle
