Distinguish between striated (tissue), cardiac (tissue), motor (tissue), and sensory (tissue).

Here is an explanation of the animal tissues shown in your notes: • Striated (Skeletal) Muscle Tissue: Key Features: Contains multiple nuclei per cell, visible striations (bands) due to the arrangement of contractile proteins, and a sarcolemma* (cell membrane of a muscle fiber). Function: Responsible for voluntary movements* of the body, such as walking and lifting. Location*: Attached to bones throughout the body. • Cardiac Muscle Tissue: Key Features: Possesses one or two nuclei per cell, branched fibers, and specialized junctions called intercalated discs* that allow for rapid communication between cells. It also has striations, though often less distinct than skeletal muscle. Function: Pumps blood throughout the body through involuntary contractions*. Location: Exclusively found in the walls of the heart*. • Motor (Nerve) Tissue / Motor Neuron: Key Features: Composed of motor neurons, which have a cell body (soma), an axon (long projection that transmits signals away from the cell body), and dendrites* (branching extensions that receive signals). Function: Transmits electrical signals (nerve impulses) from the central nervous system* (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and glands, initiating movement or secretion. Location: Found in the brain, spinal cord*, and peripheral nerves leading to muscles and glands. • Sensory (Nerve) Tissue / Sensory Neuron: Key Features: Composed of sensory neurons, which also have a cell body, an axon, and dendrites*. Their structure is adapted to detect stimuli. Function: Transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors (e.g., in the skin, eyes, ears) to the central nervous system*, allowing the body to perceive stimuli like touch, light, and sound. Location: Found in sensory organs* and peripheral nerves, connecting to the spinal cord and brain. 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
