Question 1

4 basic types of tissues in the human body

Answer 1

Nervous
Connective
Epithelial
Muscle

Question 2

Two types of epithelial tissue locations?

Answer 2

Covering and lining epithelia - found on external and internal surfaces

Glandular epithelia - secretory tissue in glands

Question 3

Transitional epithelium

Answer 3

• resembles both stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal

- stretches readily and permits distension of lined structures

Question 4

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 4

Typically consists of two cell layers
Only found in some sweat and mammary glands
- protective tissue

Question 5

Stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 5

Found in male urethra, and some glandular ducts

- secretes and protects

Question 6

Stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 6

• a thin membrane composed of several layers
• has a keratinized and non-keratinized type
• protects against abrasion
• lines esophagus, mouth and vagina

Question 7

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Answer 7

A single layer of differing heights, with some not reaching the free surface

• secretes mucus, the ciliated tissue moves mucus
• upper respiratory tract

Question 8

Simple columnar epithelium

Answer 8

A single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei

• absorbs and secretes mucus and enzymes
• small intestine, bronchi, uterine tubes

Question 9

Simple cuboidal epithelial

Answer 9

A simple layer of cube-like cells with large, spherical central nuclei

• secretes and absorbs
• ducts, kidney tubules

Question 10

Simple squamous epithelium

Answer 10

Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central

• allows territorials to pass through by diffusion and filtration and secretes a lubricating substance
• air sacs of lungs and lining of the heart

Question 11

Connective tissue 4 classes

Answer 11

Most abundant and widely distributed tissue type in the human body

• connective tissue proper
• cartilage
• bone tissue
• blood

Question 12

4 Major functions of connective tissues

Answer 12

• binding and support

Question 14

Types of muscle tissue

Answer 14

Smooth
Cardiac
Skeletal

Question 15

merocrine glands

Answer 15

secrete their products by exocytosis

- sweat, salivary glands

Question 16

holocrine glands

Answer 16

products are secreted by rupture of the glands

-sebaceous glands

Question 17

another word for serous membranes

Answer 17

serosae

Question 18

hyaline cartilage

Answer 18

cushioning properties
forms most of embryonic system
covers ends of long bones in joint cavities

Question 19

fibrocartilage

Answer 19

tensile strength with ability to absorb compressive stress

in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, menisci of knee joint

Question 20

skeletal tissue

Answer 20

• long cylindrical fibers
• voluntary movement, produces heat, protects organs
• attached to bones and skin

Question 21

cardiac tissue

Answer 21

• short, branched fibers

- contracts to pump blood

Question 22

smooth tissue

Answer 22

short, spindle-shaped fibers

• involuntary movement, blood flow, secretions, regulates airway
• walls of hollow organs

epithelial tissue membranes

Answer 23

cutaneous membranes
mucous membranes or mucosae
serous membranes or serosae

Question 24

cutaneous membranes
