Thin filaments are - CORRECT ANSWER-actin
Thick filaments are - CORRECT ANSWER-myosin
What are the types of muscle tissue? - CORRECT ANSWER-1. skeletal
2. cardiac
3. smooth
Nervous Tissue - CORRECT ANSWER-found throughout the body and is
used for communication between peripheral tissues and the central nervous
system and it provides the means for controlling body function and for
sensing and moving about the environment in response to stimuli
Types of nervous tissue cells - CORRECT ANSWER-neurons and glial cells
Neurons function in - CORRECT ANSWER-communication
, Glial cells - CORRECT ANSWER-support the neurons
What is atrophy? - CORRECT ANSWER-decrease in cell size which in turn
decreases the size of an organ or tissue; usually results from disuse
Hypertrophy - CORRECT ANSWER-an increase in the size of an organ or
tissue due to the increase in size of the cells that comprise it
Hyperplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-an increase in the size of an organ or
tissue cause by an increase in the number od cells making up that organ or
tissue
Advantages of metaplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-higher likelihood of survival
in a less than optimal environment and is reverisible
Disadvantages of metaplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-it can progress to
dysplasia with romval of the stressor under persistent stress
Dysplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-abnormal cell growth that results in cells
varying in shape, size, and organization. Dysplasia most often refers to
proliferation of precancerous cells and is reversible, in theory, with
alleviation of inciting stress
What can dysplasia lead to? - CORRECT ANSWER-carcinoma
