BASIC TYPES OF TISSUE

Question 1

this is the study of normal tissues of the body

Answer 1

histology

Question 2

the study of changes in microscopic structures of tissues

Answer 2

histopathology

Question 3

4 basic types of tissue

Answer 3

epithelial tissue/epithelium, connective tissue, nervous tissue, muscle tissue

Question 4

Cover body surfaces and line the cavities of
hollow organs, tubes of the body, and cover internal organs

Answer 4

epithelial tissue

Question 5

this is the most cellular type of tissue

Answer 5

epithelial tissue

Question 6

TRUE OR FALSE: the epithelium is avascular

Answer 6

TRUE

Question 7

what are the 2 components of the epithelial tissue

Answer 7

epithelial cells (very cellular and compact) and intercellular cementing substance (binds ep. cells together)

Question 8

these attach/bind epithelial cells together

Answer 8

cell junctions

Question 9

functions of epithelium

Answer 9

protection, absorption, secretion, sensory reception, excretion, lubrication

Question 10

what are the 2 structures associated with epithelial tissue

Answer 10

basement membrane and lamina propia

Question 11

Provides structural support for the epithelium and binds it to neighboring structures

Answer 11

basement membrane

Question 12

The thin layer of loose connective tissue
immediately beneath the epithelium; underlying the basement membrane

Answer 12

lamina propia

Question 13

membrane specialization of epithelia include:

Answer 13

intercellular surfaces and luminal/apical surfaces

Question 14

these are attached to the lateral surfaces of epithelial cells and consists of multiprotein complexes

Answer 14

cell junctions

Question 15

what are the types of cell junctions

Answer 15

adhering junctions, tight junctions, gap/communicating junctions

Question 16

type of cell junction that mediates intercellular communication, permits the passage of substances between adjacent
cells

Answer 16

gap/communicating junctions

Question 17

hold cells together to prevent lateral tearing of tissues and provide mechanical attachment (maybe cell-to-cell or cell-to-basement membrane)

Answer 17

adhering junctions

Question 18

impermeable junctions; most apical junction; principal function is to form a seal that prevents the flow of materials between epithelial cells in either way

Answer 18

tight junctionsw

Question 19

what are found on the apical surfaces of epithelial tissues

Answer 19

microvilli, cilia, stereocilia

Question 20

minute finger-like extensions or
folds that increase the cell surface area available for absorption

Answer 20

microvilli

Question 21

elongated, motile structures have a rapid back-and-forth movement that is frequently coordinated propelling surface films of mucus and fluid

Answer 21

cilia

Question 22

long, nonmotile structures that increase the cell surface area and facilitate the movement of molecules into the out of the cell.

Answer 22

stereocilia

Question 23

single layer of flattened cells with bulge where nucleus is located, cytoplasm is very thin and touch to see

Answer 23

simple squamous epithelium

Question 24

epithelium can be classified into 2:

Answer 24

lining/covering and glandular/pyramidal

Question 25

3 components of connective tissue

Answer 25

cells, extracellular matrix/ground substance, protein fibers
