Effects of blast pressure on structures and the human body. The following table 1, based on Department of Defense data from Glasstone and Dolan. (1977) and Sartori (1983), summarizes the effects of increasing blast pressure on various. structures and the human body. This data originates from weapons tests and blast studies. to assess the effect of blast overpressure on structures and people. This data provides. some guidance on the possible effects of mine explosions on miners. Table 1 â Effect of various long duration blast overpressures and the associated.

It has many different forms for its many functions: protection, secretion, excretion, absorption, filtration, and sensation. Each type of epithelial tissue will be outlined in detail. See More
1) Epithelial Tissue. Epithelial tissue forms the covering or lining of free body surfaces, both internal and external. For example, the outer layer of the skin is formed from epithelial tissue as are the inner linings of the digestive tract and blood vessels.As a group, epithelial tissues perform a variety of functions, including protection, absorption, excretion, secretion and lubrication.I ANIMAL TISSUES. In animals, organs are composed of varying combinations of four basic tissue types -- epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Each of these tissues has distinctive structural features and specific functions which are again combined to produce functioning organs.
