Summary Introduction

To identify: The four basic types of tissues and describe their functions.

Introduction: The term “tissue” is derived from the French word “tissu”, which means something that is “woven”. Tissues are the characteristic feature of both plants and animals. In humans, there are trillions of cells. The cells that perform similar functions and having similar properties are grouped together to form tissues. The study of tissues is known as histology.

Explanation of Solution

The four basic types of tissues and their functions are listed as follows:

  • Epithelial tissues: They are the components of secretory glands. Epithelial tissues also line the internal passages and chambers as well as cover the exposed surfaces.
  • Connective tissue: The connective tissues fill the internal spaces and help to provide structural support. They also help to store energy.
  • Muscle tissue: Muscle tissues are present in skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. These tissues are involved in contractions to produce suitable movements.
  • Nervous tissue: Nervous tissue is the characteristic feature of the nervous system which conducts electrical impulses to carry information to and from the brain.

A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.

With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobin
