Question 9

How are tissues and organs related

Answer 9

Tissues are made up of group of similar cells and organs are different tissues organized into one.

Question 10

What are the four types of tissue

Answer 10

Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous

Question 11

Epithelial Tissue

Answer 11

Tissue that covers the body, lines the organs, and cavities within the body. Closely packed with tight junctions; act as a barrier against mechanical injury, pathogens, and fluid loss.

Question 12

Connective Tissue

Answer 12

Consists of a sparse population of cells that hold together tissues and organs.
Collagenous fibers, Reticular Fibers, and Elastic fibers

Question 13

Muscle Tissue

Answer 13

Tissue that is responsible for all types of movement. Contains Myosin and actin which enable muscles to contract.
Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac muscle tissue.

Question 14

Nervous Tissue

Answer 14

Tissue is responsible for receiving, processing, and transmission of information. It contains neurons and support cells called glial cells.

Question 15

Straitified Squamous epithelium

Answer 15

A multilayered tissue that regenerates rapidly. Commonly found outside the body, in the mouth, anus and vagina. (all places that are subject to abrasions)

Question 16

Cuboidal Epithelium

Answer 16

Dice-shaped cells specialized for secretion. Mainly in the kidneys, thyroid, and salivary glands.

Question 17

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Answer 17

Large brick-shaped cells found in areas where there is a lot of secretion, such as the intestines.

Question 18

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Answer 18

Simple layer of platelike cells that exchange materials through diffusion. Found in blood vessels, air sacs, etc…

Question 19

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Answer 19

Cells with varying height that are found in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract

Question 20

Adipose Tissue

Answer 20

loose connective tissue that stores fat in adipose cells.

Question 21

Cartilage

Answer 21

Contains collagenous fibers, found in disks and between bones as it is flexible.B

Question 22

Loose connective tissue

Answer 22

Mose widespread connective tissue in the body, as It binds epithelia to underlying tissue and holds organs together

Question 23

Fibrous connective tissue

Answer 23

Dense with collagenous fibers, found in tendons that connect muscle to bone; Also found in ligaments which are bone-to-join

Question 24

Skeletal Muscle

Answer 24

Attached to bones by tendons, striated muscle is responsible for voluntary movement.

Question 25

Smooth Muscle

Answer 25

Lacks striations and is found in the walls of the digestive, urinary, and arteries. Responsible for involuntary muscle movements.

Question 26

Cardiac Muscle

Answer 26

Forms the contractile walls of the heart. It is striated and has branched fibers that interconnect to relay signals.
