3 - Tissue types and structures II

Question 1

What is glandular epithelium?

Answer 1

composed of cells that produce and secrete substances into ducts or body fluids

Question 2

merocrine secretion

Answer 2

release of a substance from a gland via exocytosis

Question 3

apocrine secretion

Answer 3

A mode of secretion in which the glandular cell sheds portions of its cytoplasm

Question 4

holocrine secretion

Answer 4

release of a substance caused by the rupture of a gland cell, which becomes part of the secretion

Question 5

simple multicellular glands

Answer 5

Gland with single duct, don’t branch

Question 6

compound multicellular glands

Answer 6

Having ducts which branch

Question 7

what is the role of connective tissue?

Answer 7

supports, protects, and binds together other tissues of the body

Question 8

what are the 5 types of connective?

Answer 8

loose, dense, cartilage, bone, blood

Question 9

3 types of protein fibres

Answer 9

collagen, elastic, reticular

Question 10

Loose connective tissue, areolar

Answer 10

gel-like matrix with all three fiber types; cells: fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and some white blood cells

Question 11

loose connective tissue, adipose

Answer 11

provides reserve food fuel; insulates against heat loss; supports and protects organs

Question 12

loose connective tissue, reticular

Answer 12

network of reticular fibers in a typical loose ground substance; reticular cells lie on the network

Question 13

dense regular connective tissue

Answer 13

Closely packed collagen fibers running parallel to each other

Question 14

Dense Irregular CT

Answer 14

thick and irregular collagen fibres

Question 15

elastic connective tissue

Answer 15

combines strength with elasticity and recoils easily

Question 16

hyaline cartilage

Answer 16

The most abundant cartilage type in the body; provides firm support with some pliability

Question 17

elastic cartilage

Answer 17

cartilage with abundant elastic fibers; more flexible than hyaline cartilage

Question 18

Fibrocartilage

Answer 18

cartilage that contains fibrous bundles of collagen, such as that of the intervertebral disks in the spinal cord.

Question 19

bone

Answer 19

numerous collagen fibres with matrix of inorganic calcium salts

Question 20

blood

Answer 20

Red and white blood cells surrounded by fluid plasma matrix
