Who discovered the tissue?
The term was introduced in anatomy by Xavier Bichat in 1801. He was “the first to propose that tissue is a central element in human anatomy, and he considered organs as collections of often disparate tissues, rather than as entities in themselves”.
How many tissues does a human have?
There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac.
What are the classification of muscles?

- Smooth Muscle.
- Cardiac Muscle.

How do muscles work in pairs?
Muscles work in pairs to move a bone. Skeletal muscles only PULL in one direction. For this reason they always come in pairs. When one muscle in a pair contracts, to bend a joint for example, its counterpart then contracts and pulls in the opposite direction to straighten the joint out again.
Is a voluntary muscle?
Involuntary muscles, which are also known as smooth muscles, are the muscles in the human body that act without conscious control or cannot be controlled at will….Involuntary Muscles:

What is an example of a voluntary muscle?
Examples of voluntary muscle are the biceps, triceps and quadriceps. The biceps are the muscle on the inside of the arm above the elbow.
What are the two types of voluntary muscles?
Muscle Types: Cardiac and skeletal muscle are both striated in appearance, while smooth muscle is not. Both cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary while skeletal muscle is voluntary.
What are some examples of voluntary?
