43
Q

What are coiled protein fibers that recoil after being stretched?

A

Elastic fibers

44
Q

How does the structure of a neuron relate to its function?

A

It is a one-way path of information transport, axons can be long to cover long distances

45
Q

What muscle tissue is voluntarily controlled?

46
Q

What muscle tissues are involuntarily controlled>

What tissue has a banded appearance?

A

Skeletal and Cardiac

48
Q

What tissue has a single nucleus in each cell?

A

Cardiac and smooth

49
Q

What tissue has multiple nuclei?

50
Q

What tissue is attached to bones?

51
Q

What tissue allows you to direct your eyes?

52
Q

What tissue is found in the walls of the stomach, uterus, and arteries?

53
Q

What tissue contains spindle-shaped cells?

54
Q

What tissue contains cylindrical cells with branching ends?

55
Q

What tissue contains long branching cylindrical cells?

56
Q

What tissue displays intercalated discs?

57
Q

What tissue is concerned with the locomotion of the body?

58
Q

What tissue changes the internal volume of an organ as it contracts?

59
Q

What is the tissue of the circulatory pump?

60
Q

True or False:
Epithelial cells are vascular

61
Q

True or False:
Epithelial cells can regenerate themselves?

62
Q

True or False:
Endocrine glands are glands that secrete products directly into the bloodstream without a duct

63
Q

True or False:
Goblet cells are found interspersed between single columnar cells and secrete a mucous

64
Q

True or False:
Pseudostratified cells are located in your bladder so it can stretch

65
Q

What is the surface of an epithelial cell that is exposed to the body exterior or inside a cavity called?

A

Apical surface

66
Q

Why is our skin made of up stratified squamous?

A

Many layers offer protection

67
Q

What is the difference between simple and stratified cells?

A

Simple is one layer and stratified is multiple

68
Q

Why would we find simple squamous cells in the lungs?

A

Single layer of flat cells allows the most exchnage

69
Q

Why wouldn’t we want transitional cells in our veins?

A

Transitional cells stretch and if our veins stretch our blood will never make it back from our lower half

70

75
Q

What tissue forms the stroma or internal framework?

A

Reticular tissue

76
Q

Why is blood considered a connective tissue?

A

It has plasma which is an extracellular matrix

77
Q

A

Smooth and Cardiac

87
Q

Where would you find smooth muscle?

A

Stomach, esophagus, and uterus

88
Q

What cells are found in the brain?
