Mammary glands exhibit a glandular type called
compound alveolar
What feature characterizes simple columnar epithelium of the digestive tract?
dense microvilli
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium?
lines the respiratory tract
Which of the following is a single-celled layer of epithelium that forms the lining of serous membranes?
simple squamous
Which statement best describes connective tissue?
usually contains a large amount of matrix
Matrix is composed of
fibers and ground substance
Cell types likely to be seen in areolar connective tissue include all except
chondrocytes
Which tissue type arises from all three embryonic germ layers?
epithelial tissue
The fiber type that gives connective tissue great tensile strength is
collagen
Organized groups of cells (plus their intercellular substances) that have a common purpose form a(n)
tissue
The shape of the external ear is maintained by
elastic cartilage
Inability to absorb digest nutrients and secrete music might indicate a disorder in which tissue?
simple columnar
Glands, such as the thyroid, tat secrete their products directly into the blood rather than through ducts are classified as
endocrine
Which of the following is true about epithelia?
Endothelium provides a slick surface lining all hallow cardiovascular organs
Chondroblasts
within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix
____ epithelium appears to have tow or three layers of cells, but all the cells are in contact with the basement membrane.
Pseudostratified columnar
A multilayered epithelium with cuboidal basal cells and flat cells at its surface would be classified as
stratified squamous
An epithelial membrane
contains simple or stratified epithelia and a basement membrane
Multicellular exocrine glands can be classified
functionally into merocrine, holocrine, and apocrine divisions
Which of the following is true about the mode of secretion of exocrine glands?
Merocrine glands are not altered by the secretory process.
Which of these is not considered connective tissue?
muscle
What are glycosaminoglycans?
negatively charged polysaccharides
What is true concerning muscle tissue?
highly cellular and well vascularized
The first step in tissue repair involves
inflammation
Select the correct statement regarding multicellular exocrine glands
the secretory cells of holocrine glands release their product by rupturing
What are the three main components of connective tissue?
ground substance, fiber and cells
Which of the following statements is true of connective tissue?

Select the correct statement regarding the cells of connective tissue
“Blast” cells are undifferentiated, actively dividing cells.
Select the correct statement regarding tissue repair.
Inflammation causes capillaries to dilate and become permeable

stem cells
Mesenchymal cells are most commonly found in ___ connective tissue
embryonic
