Welcome back to Episode 3 of Deep Dive of Anatomy! In this second part of our deep dive, we’re shifting focus to the tissues that allow movement and communication in the body.

Now, let’s dive into Episode 3b!

Without muscle and nervous tissue, we wouldn’t be able to move, react, or even function properly. In this episode, we’ll break down the three types of muscle tissue—skeletal, cardiac, and smooth—and how they generate movement and maintain essential bodily functions. We’ll then explore nervous tissue, the body’s information highway, explaining how neurons and glial cells work together to send electrical signals that control everything from voluntary movements to automatic reflexes. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how these two tissue types keep your body in motion and in sync!
