- muscular tissue : locomotion, movement of bones
- nervous tissue : communication between receptors , CNS PNS and effectors.
- connective tissue : support , insulation , energy storage , separates.

The set of organs and tissues that form and external layer which protect the body
from radiation, chemical extremities and also pathogens like bacteria , fungus , virus
etc.

- lower epidermis ; which contain melanocytes , keratinocytes and Langerhans (WBCs).
- upper epidermis ; which contains two layers of dead cells and tissues which primarily act as
a physical barrier
What are the two main divisions of the dermis layer ? and what do they do ?
- papillary dermis ; which contain sensory receptors , blood vessels and loose
connective tissues
- reticular dermis ; which contain the hair follicles , certain glands such as sweat glands and
thick dense connective tissue.
What does the hypodermis contain?
Layers pf adipose tissue which act as insulators , shock absorbers and energy stores.
Define the term skeleton
Is a collective term used to describe all the bones and joints in a body which provides
support, movement and protection.
5 roles of the skeletal system are ?
- protection
- movement
- RBC production (haematopoiesis)
- support
- mineral storage

- cervical
- thoracic

What are skeletal muscles ?
Muscles that are attached to bones via tendons which promote the movement of the
skeleton.
Characteristics of a skeletal muscle (3)
- striated
- multinucleated
- voluntary
Histology of skeletal muscle
Major muscle (covered by epimysium) -> fascicles (covered by perimysium) ->
individual muscle fibres (covered by endomysium) , which are also surrounded by
sarcolemma -> myofibrils (surrounded by sarcoplasm) and finally the sarcomere .
How do skeletal muscles contribute towards homeostasis ?
- repeated muscle contractions which generate heat and regulate optimal body
temperature.
What are the other two types of muscles found in the human body ?
