Summary Introduction

To determine:

The different types of tissues which makes up the human body’s organ system.

Introduction:

The tissues are the group of cells having similar function and structure. Various types of tissues performs the same function and combine together to form an organ. These organ combines to form an organ system of the body.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The various types of tissues are as follows:

  • Epithelial tissue
  • Connective tissue
  • Muscular tissue
  • Nervous tissue

Epithelial Tissue

Epithelial tissue forms the outermost covering of an organ system. It protects the organ system from damage from any external stimuli in the body from various chemical components which are present inside the organ itself.

For example, various acids are present in the stomach which may cause harm to the stomach. Epithelial lining of the stomach prevents the wall of the stomach from getting damaged by the acid. Hence, this tissue has a protective function.

Connective Tissue

As the name suggests, connective tissue connects the various components of the cell. Along with that, various organs are connected to each other with the help of this tissue. Connective tissue comprises of blood. Since blood flows inside the body, various nutrients and minerals are transliterated through it inside the body. This tissue connects the various organs of the body through transportation.

Muscular Tissue

Skeletal muscle - As the name suggests, skeletal muscles are attached to the skeletal. It has stripes and it works voluntarily, which means one can control it with the help of the nervous system.

Cardiac muscle - Cardiac muscle is the heart muscle which are also striated (striped) like skeletal muscle but are not voluntary in nature. Cardiac muscle is involuntary, which means they contract and relax spontaneously.

Smooth muscle - Like cardiac muscle, smooth muscles are also involuntary in nature. However, unlike the cardiac and skeletal muscles, they do not show stripes microscopically. Smooth muscle contributes majorly to the organs more specifically to the hollow bodies.

Nervous Tissue

It comprises of the sensory organs of the body which collects the signals in response to any stimuli. These tissues only generate the reflex in turn to the stimuli as ordered by the nervous system.

Conclusion

Hence, epithelial tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscular tissue makes up each of the major organ systems of the human body.

Glitazones reduce insulin resistance by binding to a transcription factor in adipocytes, thereby reducing thesecretion of fatty acids. Glitazones are taken orally (in pill form). Using pharmacokinetic modeling, deriveequations to describe how the concentration of glitazones varies in the plasma as a function of time. Yourequations should be of the form: dCglitazone /dt = something, or dMglitazone /dt = something. Your model shouldinclude three compartments: the gut, the plasma, and the fatty tissues. Make sure to include a diagram thatillustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Do not solve the equations.
Case Study—Ella Review the case study and then answer Parts A through F. Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day.
