Answer 2

Protection, 
absorption, 
filtration, 
excretion, 
secretion, 
sensory reception

Question 3

***What are the special characteristics of epithelial tissue?

Answer 3

Polarity,   (Apical/basal)
avascular but innervated, 
regeneration,  (mitosis)
Cellularity,   (Tightly packed cells)
specialized Contacts (tight/gap/desmosomes), 
supported by connective tissue (always!)

Question 4

***basement membrane

Answer 4

basal lamina + reticular lamina

Question 5

***What do endothelium and mesothelium do?

Answer 5

Simple squamous epithelium that lines chambers and passageways that do not open to outside world and inner surface of heart and blood vessels

Question 6

***What is a gland?

Answer 6

One or more cells that make and secrete a particular product

Question 7

***Exocrine gland?

Answer 7

Have ducts and release their products to the outside. (mucus, tears, sweat, oil, enzymes, milk)

Question 8

***Endocrine gland?

Answer 8

Ductless, release hormones into interstitial fluid and then into bloodstream

Question 9

***4 major tissue types?

Answer 9

Nervous, muscle, connective, epithelial

Question 10

***tissue

Answer 10

group of cells, similar in structure, carrying out a specific function

Question 11

***Epithelial tissue

Answer 11

A sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity

Question 12

***What are the types of connective tissues?

Answer 12

Proper (loose/dense),
supporting (cartilage/bone),
fluid (blood/lymph)

Question 13

**What are the common characteristics of connective tissue?

Answer 13

mesenchyme (common origin - gives rise to all other ct.s),
degrees of vascularity (cartilage avascular –> blood vascular),
extracellular matrix (packing material)

Question 14

***Describe the structural elements of connective tissue?

Answer 14

Ground substance (viscous substance with proeoglycans/glycoproteins),

cells (i.e. osteoblasts/adipocytes),

fibers (provide support, made of protein)

Question 15

***Types of loose connective tissue?

Answer 15

Areolar, adipose, reticular (packing materials)

Question 16

***Types of dense connective tissue?

Answer 16

regular, irregular, elastic (tend/lig, attaching stretching)

Question 17

***Types of cartilage?

Answer 17

hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage

Question 18

***Types of bone?

Answer 18

compact, spongy

Question 19

***Extracellular matrix?

Answer 19

ground substance + fibers

Question 20

***Functions of connective tissue? (5)

Answer 20

Structural framework (supporting/surrounding/interconnecting tissues), 
protection, 
insulating, 
storing energy, 
transporting

Question 21

Structure of epithelial tissue?

Answer 21

Creates a barrier with Tightly packed cells held together by lateral contacts form coverings/linings, and glands
