In the human body there are four categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, nervous and muscle. The glucoregulatory functions of pancreatic islets are affected by their surrounding niche and ...

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium, contains cells that expand and contract in response to electrical impulses from the nervous system. These cardiac cells work together to produce the rhythmic ...

If time permits, an introductory poroelasticity will be presented. Structure-function relationships which link tissue morphology and physiology to tissue constitutive models will be covered for ...

Information from receptors passes along neurones, as electrical impulses to co-ordinators such as the central nervous system or CNS. The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. Muscles contracting or ...
