What are the
major
functions of
muscle tissue
There are four characteristicsassociated with muscle
tissue:
Excitability
• Tissue can receive and respond to
stimulation
Contractility
• Tissue can shorten and thicken
Extensibility
• Tissue can lengthen
Elasticity
• Tissue can return to its resting state
The characteristics of muscle tissue enable it to
perform some important functions, including:
 Movement (both voluntarily and
involuntarily)
 Maintaining posture
Supporting soft tissues within body
cavities
Guarding entrance and exits of the

MUSCULAR TISSUE
There are three types of muscles namely-
a. Skeletal muscle- they help in locomotion e.g. biceps
femoris.
b. Smooth muscles- they are present in the viscera of our
body e.g. muscle in the wall of stomach.
c. Cardiac muscle- it is seen only in the heart.
Contraction of this muscle helps in pumping of blood
throughout our body.
Fibers are multinucleated with peripheral nuclei
Actin and myosin filaments form distinct cross- striation
patterns Muscle is surrounded by connective tissue
epimysium
Muscle fascicles surrounded by connective tissue
perimysium
Each muscle fiber surrounded by connective tissue
endomysium
Skeletal Muscle Tissue features and
characteristics:
Sensitive stretch receptors called
neuromuscular spindles are present
within nearly all skeletal muscles
These spindles consist of a connective tissue
capsule, in which are found modified muscle
fibers called intrafusal fibers and numerous
nerve endings
Neuromuscular spindles monitor the changes
in the muscle lengths and activate complex
reflexes to regulate muscle activity
Functions of Skeletal Muscle
Tissue
 Skeletal muscles function in pairs to bring about the
coordinated movements of the limbs, trunk, jaws,
eyeballs, etc.
 Skeletal muscles are directly involved in the
breathing process.
Found in hollow organs and blood vessels
Fibers are fusiform in shape and contain single
nuclei
Each cell is filled with a specialized cytoplasm,
the sarcoplasm and is surrounded by a thin cell
membrane, the sarcolemma.
Contain contractile actin and myosin filaments;
however, they are not arranged in the regular,
cross-striated patterns that are visible in both the
skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers
As a result, these muscle appear smooth or
nonstriated
Smooth muscle fibers are also involuntary
Smooth Muscle Tissue features and
characteristics:
Smooth muscle controls slow,
involuntary movements such as the
contraction of the smooth muscle
tissue in the walls of the stomach
and intestines.
The muscle of the arteries contracts
and relaxes to regulate the blood
pressure and the flow of blood.
Functions of Smooth Muscle Tissue
Cardiac Muscle Tissue features and
characteristics:
Primarily located in the walls and septa of the heart and in the walls of the
large vessels attached to the heart(aorta and pulmonary trunk)
Similar to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle fibers exhibit distinct cross-
striations as a result of the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments.
Transmission electron microscopy reveals similar A bands, I bands, Z
lines, and repeating sacromere units
Exhibits only one or two central nuclei, are shorter, and are
branched
The terminal ends of adjacent cardiac
muscle fibers show characteristic and
dense-staining, end-to-end junctional
complexes called intercalated disks.
Located in the intercalated disks are the
gap junctions that enable ionic
communication and continuity between
adjacent cardiac muscle fibers.
Exhibit autorhythmicity and
spontaneously generate stimuli
Cardiac muscle tissue plays the
most important role in the
contraction of the atria and
ventricles of the heart.
It causes the rhythmical beating
of the heart, circulating the
blood and its contents
throughout the body as a
Functions of Cardiac Muscle Tissue
NERVOUS TISSUE.
NERVOUS TISSUE
Nervous system
1. central nervous system:- brain and spinal cord
2. peripheral nervous system:- cranial and spinal
nerve.
• Nervous tissue Consists
of:- Neuron
Supporting cells(neuroglia)
• Neurons : transmit electrical impulses
from one site in the body to another,
and receive and process information
• Neuroglia : are non-conducting cells that
are in intimate physical contact with
neurons .
Neurons –
Functional unit of
nervous system -
It Consists of:
• Cell body
• Processes
•It is basically a cell
nucleus surrounded by
cytoplasm.
•Nuclei of nerve cells
are: large, round and
euchromatic with a
single prominent
nucleolus.
•Centrioles- absent.
•Cytoplasm of nerve cell
bodies is abundantly
supplied with: - masses
of RER ,numerous
Golgi bodies,
Cell body(perikaryon or soma)
Cell body.....
•Nissl substance:-(nissl bodies /
granules):-granular material,
composed of rough endoplasmic
reticulum.
protein synthesis – high
•Neurofibrils:- microflaments and
microtubules)
•Pigment granules:-
neuromelanin( substantia
nigra)
lipofuscin(resudual bodies –
lysosomes)
Aggregation of cell body-- within CNS– k/a--nuclei
outside CNS—k/a–ganglia
PROCESSES (NEURITES)
Two types:-
• Axon
• Dendrites
Axon:-
• long, cylindrical process up to 1m
• nissl substance absent
• axon hillock
• impulse:- away from cell body.
• telodendria.
• terminal boutons.
• commenly refer to as nerve fibers
Initial
segment
telodendri
a
Dendrites
•Numerous,Highly branched
•Irregular
•Terminate near the cell body.
•Nissl granules – present
•Impluse- towards the cell
body
Gray matter:- cell body of neuron
unmyelinated
White matter:- myelinated fibers
Types of neurone
a.According to the shape of cell body
b.According to variation in axon
a.According to the shape of cell body:-
shape of the cell body dependent on
the number of processes arrising
from it.
3 types:-
1. Multipolar neurones:-
many processes arises form the cell
body eg:- motor neurone
2.Bipolar neurone
single dendrites and axon eg:- olfactory neuron,
retina.
3.Unipolar neurone
single dendrite and the axon
arise form common stem of the
cell body.
Eg:- dorsal root ganglian.
Myelinated and non myelinated nerve fibers
PNS:- schwann cell
CNS:-
oligodendrocytes.
• Small diameter axon
Non myelinated:-
• simple envolop by the
cytoplasm
Myelinated fibers:-
• large diameter fiber
,
• concentric layers .
