Question

What cellular differences would you expect in cells found in the skeletal muscles compared to those found in the human capillaries and the fat found in the hypodermis?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tissues are a group of similar cells which performs similar functions, and are known to interact with each other. Humans have four different types of tissues namely; the epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and the nervous tissue.

The skeletal muscles present are a type of the muscular tissue. Whereas, the human blood capillaries are made of an epithelial tissue and the underlying hypodermal fat is an example of adipose tissue. The differences between them are as given below;

Skeletal muscle tissue	Epithelial tissue	Adipose connective tissue
Cells are vascular in nature	Cells are avascular in nature	Cells are vascular in nature
Cells do not rest over a basement membrane	Cells rests on a basement membrane	Cells do not rest over a basement membrane
Major function is to help facilitate contraction and relaxation of muscles	Major function is protection, absorption, and secretion	Major function is to store the fats in the body
Cells can be multinucleated	Cells are uninucleated	Cells are uninucleated
The different cells appears striated	Cells do not have a striated appearance	Cells do not have a striated appearance
Cells of skeletal muscles work according to animal’s will	Cells do not work as per animal’s own will	Cells do not work as per animal’s own will
Cells do not bear cilia	Cells might bear cilia	Cells do not bear cilia
No signet ring like appearance of cells when observed under the microscope	No signet ring like appearance of cells when observed under the microscope	signet ring like appearance of cells when observed under the microscope
Example: tongue, muscles of limbs	Example: skin cells	Example: blubber of whale, fats surrounding eye balls

Thus, these were the list of the differences between the different types of cells constituting the different tissues of our body.
