Chapter 4 Tissues Flashcards
The uterus exhibits hyperplasia during pregnancy. In other words, uterine cells are:
Undergoing mitosis
Hypertrophy
Increase in cell size
Hyperplasia
Increase in cell number
Atrophy
Decrease in cell size
Neoplasia
Tumor development
Like neurons, epithelial cells are irreplaceable once damaged.
T or F?
False
What has the most solid ground substance?
Supporting connective tissue
Embryonic mesenchyme consists of mesenchymal cells and :
Immature protein fibers
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Forms the epidermis of the skin.
The cells on the apical (outer) surface are dead.
Structure and function of nervous tissue:
Nervous tissue contains neurons and glial cells.
Neurons are often the longest cells in the body due to the lengths of the axons.
The short, branched processes that extend from the neurons cell body are called dendrites.
A serous membrane is composed of mesothelioma and an underlying layer of connective tissue.
T or F?
True
The type of epithelium that would best allow rapid diffusion, osmosis, or filtration is ________ epithelium.
Simple squamous
All connective tissue contains 3 basic components:
Cells
Protein fibers
Ground substance
Skeletal muscle tissue
Striated
Voluntary
Cardiac muscle tissue
Striated
Involuntary
Smooth muscle tissue
No striations
Involuntary
The type of muscle that would be found in the wall of the bladder is _______ muscle tissue.
Smooth
The type of epithelial tissue that is only one cell layer thick is called ________; the type of epithelial tissue that is two or more cell layers thick is called ________.
Simple
Stratified
Mesenchyme is located only in the umbilical cord.
T or F?
False.
Mucous connective tissue.
The study of tissues:
histology
Type of tissue that covers the body, organs, & blood vessels?
Epithelial
List the three factors that maintain the physical integrity of an epithelium:
Intracellular connections, attachment to basal lamina, epithelial maintenance and renewal.
