Question 0

Simple epithelia

Answer 0

A single cell layer

typically found where absorption, secretion, and filtration occur

Question 1

Four categories of tissues and their functions

Answer 1

Nervous tissue

Muscle tissue

epithelial tissue

connective tissue

Question 2

Stratified epithelia

Answer 2

Two or more layers of cells stacked on top of each other

common in high abrasion areas ex: skin, lining of mouth

Question 3

squamous epithelium

Answer 3

Cells that are flattened and scalelike

Question 4

cuboidal epithelium

Answer 4

Cells that are boxlike or cubelike

Question 5

columnar epithelial

Answer 5

Cells that are tall and column-like

Question 6

Simple squamous epithelium

Answer 6

Lung

Function: allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosea

Question 7

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 7

Thyroid, kidney tubules

Function: secretion and absorption

Question 8

Simple columnar epithelium

Answer 8

Stomach, rectum, uterus, small bronchi

Function: absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes. Ciliated type propels mucus

Question 9

Stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 9

Skin, mouth, esophagus

Function: protects underlying tissue in areas subjected to abrasion

Question 10

Transitional epithelium

Answer 10

Urinary bladder

Function: stretches readily, permits stored urine to descend urinary organ

Question 11

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Answer 11

Trachea

Function: secrete substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action

Question 12

Areolar connective tissue

Answer 12

Various locations

Has no obvious structure like layers or rows

Substances outside of cell are unarranged fibers (extracellular matrix)

Question 13

Adipose tissue

Answer 13

Hypodermal layer of skin

Fat

Question 14

Reticular connective tissue

Answer 14

Spleen/liver

Question 15

Dense regular connective tissue

Answer 15

Tendon

Question 16

Dense irregular connective tissue

Answer 16

Dermal layer if skin

Question 17

Hyaline cartilage

Answer 17

Tracheal cartilage

Question 18

Osseous tissue

Answer 18

Compact bone

Question 23

Nervous tissue

Answer 23

Internal communication:

• brain
• spinal cord
• nerves

Question 24

Muscle tissue

Answer 24

Contracts to cause movement:

muscles are attached to bones (skeletal)
muscles of heart (cardiac)
muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth)

Question 25

Epithelial tissue

Answer 25

Forms boundaries between different environments; protects, secretes, absorbs,filters lining of digestive track organs and other hollow organs

Question 26

Connective tissue

Answer 26

Supports, protects, binds other tissues together:

Bones
Tendons
Fat and other soft padding tissue
