Ciliated epithelium

Answer 5

Cylindrical cells with cilia; lining of nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi.

Question 6

Compound epithelium: different layers of cells

Stratified epithelium

Answer 6

Flattened cells on bed of columnar cells; epidermis of skin, lining of mouth, pharynx, esophagus, conjunctiva.

Question 7

Compound epithelium: different layers of cells

Transitional epithelium

Answer 7

Pear-shaped cells; lining of bladder, etc.

Question 8

Basement membrane (baseplate)

Answer 8

Made predominantly of collagen; underlies epithelial tissue; serves stabilizing and other functions, including joining epithelial and connective tissues.

Question 9

Connective tissue

Areolar

Answer 9

Elastic; supports organs, between muscles.

Question 10

Connective tissue

Adipose

Answer 10

Cells with fat globules; between muscle and organs.

Question 11

Connective tissue

White fibrous

Answer 11

Strong closely-packed, ligaments binding bones; periosteum covering bone; covering of organs; fascia over muscle.

Question 12

Connective tissue

Yellow elastic

Answer 12

Elastic; in areas requiring recoil, such as trachea, cartilage, bronchi, lungs.

Question 13

Connective tissue

Lymphoid

Answer 13

Lymphocytes; make up lymphoid tissue of tonsils, adenoids, lymphatic nodes.

Question 14

Connective tissue

Cartilage: firm and flexible

Answer 14

1) hyaline cartilage: bluish white and smooth; found on articulating surfaces of bones, costal cartilage of ribs, larynx, trachea, and bronchial passageway.
2) fibrocartilage; dense white flexible fibers; intervertebral discs, between surfaces of knee joints.
3) yellow (elastic) cartilage: firm elastic, Pinna, epiglottis.
