Nucleus – is the control center of the cell. It contains the DNA (genetic material). It is the one that determines how the cell will function and what its basic structure will be. Inside it is the nucleolus. -

Cell membrane – is a bilipid layer that serves as a barrier that separates the internal and external environment. It keeps the integrity of the cell. It also controls what can go inside or outside the cell. -

Muscularis propria – this is also called muscular layer. This is found in many organs which includes the appendix. It is a thin smooth muscle. It is responsible for the movement of the gut. It is adjacent to the submucosa. It allows contraction for the elimination of indigested food.
-
Mucosa- this is the inner most layer in the lining or wall of the digestive tract. It is also called the mucus membrane. It usually produces folds which increase the surface area. Furthermore, it secretes mucus, digestive enzymes and hormones. Thus, in general, it functions for absorption and secretion of substances.
-
Smooth muscle – this is usually seen in the hollow organs of the body. It has no striations and the cells are appear as spindle shaped. Its main function in the digestive tract is to propel food allowing efficient digestion. It also helps in the absorption of nutrients and evacuation of indigestible food.

Stratified squamous epithelium – this type of epithelium has flat cells with multiple layers. It is found in the skin and lining of the esophagus, mouth and vagina. This…
-
Dense irregular connective tissue- This type of epithelium is found in the dermis which is the second and thickest layer of the skin. The dermis supports the epidermis and protects the body from the external environment. It contains fibroblasts and has many collagen fibers and a little bit of elastic fibers in its matrix at all direction. In the…[Read more]
-
Adipose tissue – This is found in the innermost layer of the skin which is the hypodermis. This is also called the subcutaneous layer. The adipose or fat tissue is composed of adipocytes in a mesh of collagen fibers. It has large globules which causes the nucleus to be found in its periphery. These globules store energy. These stored energy are in…[Read more]

Heart – This organ is made up of cardiac muscle which allows its pumping action. It is divided into four chambers. The two chambers on the top are called atria and the other two on the bottom are called ventricles. It also has 4 valves which prevent the backflow of blood. The heart functions to pump oxygen, blood and hormones to the different…[Read more]

Blood – This is a connective tissue for it has a matrix and comes from the mesodermal cells. It has liquid and sold components. The liquid portion is the plasma which is also the matrix. The solid components include the RBCs, WBCs and platelets. The RBCs have the pigment hemoglobin and can carry 4 oxygen molecules. WBCs defend the body from…[Read more]
-
Elastic fibers in artery – this allows the artery to expand and contract. The contraction is read as systole and when it expands or relaxes it is read as diastole. It provides elasticity and resilience to the arteries. This is usually located in the aorta and pulmonary arteries which are near the heart. It helps in the maintenance of the blood…[Read more]

Cardiac muscle tissue – this is the only type of muscle tissue that contains intercalated discs. These discs connect the adjacent cardiac muscle cells. It also appears as branched and contains muscle fibers with single nucleus. It is found surrounding the heart and causes the mechanical pumping of the heart which is an involuntary movement.
-
Skeletal muscle tissue – this type of muscle tissue is cylindrical, multinucleated and striated. Its striations are due to the actin and myosin overlapping. Also, due to…

THE BOOSTERS 4 years, 4 months agoHow are you? Are you taking of yourself?
In this time of pandemic, self care is very important. Not only do we need to wear our masks and maintain social distancing, we also need to do our best to remain healthy. Here is a video that tells us what food we should eat to do just that.
