Differentiate the 3 types of muscle tissues. Describe the similarities and differences of them.
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth are all types of muscle tissues and all three provide movement. Only cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle are striated. Only cardiac muscle and smooth muscle tissue are involuntary and uni-nucleated. Skeletal muscle tissue is voluntary and are attached to bones with tendons. It is the only multi-nucleated one. It has it's contraction where it can be slow all the way to being fast. It has four layers of its tissue: an endomysium, perimysium, epimysium, and a fascia. Cardiac muscle is only found in the walls of the heart. It has branching chains with intercalated disks to help the movement. It pumps blood directly throughout the body. The contraction is slow and rhythmic. It only has endomysium that's attached to the fibrous skeleton of the heart. The smooth muscle tissue lines our organs and our vessels. It is spindle-shaped. It moves with peristalsis. There's no visible striations, which is what makes it smooth. The contraction is very slow and it mainly has endomysium between the cells.
________ muscle tissue has no visible striations and has spindle-shaped cells.
Smooth
The type of muscle found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the stomach, and in the walls of blood vessels is ________.
Smooth muscle
Which of the following epithelial tissues is composed of many layers of cells?
Stratified squamous epithelium
________ tissue is commonly called fat.
Adipose
Groups of cells that are similar in both structure and function are known as ________.
Tissues
Which type of tissue is NOT readily repaired if damaged?
Tissues whose mature cells are amitotic

Dense connective tissue
Glands, such as the thyroid, that secrete their products directly into the blood rather than through ducts are classified as ________.
Endocrine
Type of tissue that can be simple or stratified.
Epithelial tissue
Type of tissue that has an apical surface and a basement membrane.
Epithelial tissue
Type of tissue that is common in glands and their ducts.

________ glands possess ducts that transport secretions onto epithelial surfaces.
Exocrine
