Nervous tissue is made up of millions of nerve cells called neurons. The neurons are highly specialized cells which controls and co-ordinates the body activities and forms a system called Nervous system. Nervous system consists of three types such as CNS, PNS and ANS.
Blood is the fluid in living organism that transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells in the body. It consists of Red Blood Cells(Erythrocytes), White Blood Cells(Leukocytes) and platelets (Thrombocytes).
Platelets are the part of the blood that helps to prevent blood loss through wounds by forming clot and fight off infections.
1µl (microlitre) of blood contains
Count - The number of leucocytes per microlitre of blood is called total leucocytecount (TLC). A normal adult human consists of 5,000–10,000/mm3 of blood. Rise in WBCs count is called leucocytosis. Increased TLC shows that there is acute bacterial infection.
More advanced and developed than the prokaryotic cell, eukaryotic cells are those which have true or membrane-bound nucleus along with other nucleus bound cell organelles.
From unicellular organisms like protozoa and amoeba, all plants and animals, including human beings are made up of eukaryotic cells.
The study of bone is known as Osteology. The bone connective tissue is highly calcified, solid, hard, rigid connective tissue. The matrix consists of an organic component called ossein. It is the major component of adult vertebrate endoskeleton.
This tissue is mesodermal in origin. It is the most abundant body tissue. The cells forming the connective tissues are more widely separated from each other than those forming the epithelium and intracellular substance. It has few cells, an extensive matrix and a rich blood supply.
Mitosis cell division is the type of cell division cycle in which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus.
Specialized Epithelial Tissue are a class of epithelial tissues that have very specific and specialized functions and structures. This tissue is composed of cuboidal, columnar, ciliated columnar epithelial cells. These are following types:
This tissue is composed of long, elongated columnar epithelial cells. Each cell bears numerous cilia at the free surface, i.e. known as brush border.
The surface of our body and internal organs is subjected to wear, tear and injury. To protect the inner tissues, the outer lining of the body and organs is covered by a specialized group of cells called epithelium.
Epithelial tissues can contain a single layer of cells (Simple Epithelium) or many layers(Stratified Epithelium).
