BODY TISSUES

Question 1

Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands. It protects, absorbs, filters, and secretes substances.

Answer 1

Epithelial Tissue

Question 2

Types of Simple Epithelium

Answer 2

• Simple Squamous Epithelium
• Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
• Simple Columnar Epithelium
• Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Question 3

Flat cells, allowing easy diffusion and filtration. Found in air sacs of lungs and blood vessel linings.

Answer 3

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Question 4

Cube-shaped cells for secretion and absorption. Found in glands and kidney tubules.

Answer 4

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Question 5

Tall cells for absorption and secretion, often with microvilli. Found in the digestive tract.

Answer 5

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Question 6

Appears layered but is a single layer of cells. Often ciliated and found in the respiratory tract.

Answer 6

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Question 7

Multiple layers of flat cells for protection. Found in the skin, mouth, and esophagus.

Answer 7

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Question 8

Two or more layers of cube-shaped cells, found in ducts of sweat and salivary glands.

Answer 8

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

Question 9

Stratified Epithelium

Answer 9

• Stratified Squamous Epithelium
• Stratified Columnar Epithelium
  -Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

Question 10

Rare, found in the male urethra and some ducts.

Answer 10

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

Question 11

Specialized epithelium that stretches. Found in the bladder, allowing it to expand and contract.

Answer 11

Transitional Epithelium

Question 12

Specialized for secretion, forming glands.

Answer 12

Glandular Epithelium

Question 13

Types of Glandular Epithelium

Answer 13

• Endocrine Glands
• Exocrine Glands

Question 14

Ductless glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream (e.g., thyroid, adrenal glands).

Answer 14

Endocrine Glands

Question 15

Secrete substances through ducts (e.g., sweat, salivary, and digestive glands).

Answer 15

Exocrine Glands

Question 16

supports, connects, and protects tissues and organs. It also stores energy and transports substances.

Answer 16

Connective Tissue

Question 17

Types of Connective Tissue

Answer 17

Areolar Tissue, Adipose Tissue, Reticular Tissue, Dense Connective Tissue, Cartilage, Bone, Blood, and Lymph

Question 18

is responsible for movement and force generation by contracting.

Answer 18

Muscle Tissue

Question 19

Types of Muscle Tissue

Answer 19

Skeletal Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, Smooth Muscle

Question 20

Voluntary muscle attached to bones, responsible for movements like walking and lifting.

Answer 20

Skeletal Muscle

Question 21

Involuntary muscle found in the heart, responsible for pumping blood.

Answer 21

Cardiac Muscle

Question 22

Involuntary muscle found in the walls of internal organs (e.g., stomach, intestines, blood vessels), responsible for automatic movements like digestion and regulating blood flow.

Answer 22

Smooth Muscle

Question 23

Smooth, glassy cartilage found in joints, the nose, and the trachea. It provides smooth surfaces for movement and supports structures.

Answer 23

Hyaline Cartilage

Question 24

More flexible than hyaline cartilage, found in the external ear and the epiglottis. It helps maintain shape while allowing flexibility.

Answer 24

Elastic Cartilage

Question 25

Tough, dense cartilage found in areas that need strong support, like the intervertebral discs and knee menisci. It provides shock absorption and resists compression.

Answer 25

Fibrocartilage

Question 26

Hard connective tissue that forms the skeleton

Answer 26

Bone

Question 26

A liquid connective tissue that transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products

Answer 26

Blood
