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.
Expert Solution & Answer
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.

If someone was working with a 50 MBq F-18 source, what would be the internal and external dose consequences?
We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen.
I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates.
List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
