Q

What are the different types of connective tissue?

A
  1. Loose connective tissue
  2. Dense connective tissue
  3. Specialised connective tissue
17
Q

What are the names of the different epithelial tissues?

A
  1. Ciliated epithelial tissue
  2. Cuboidal
  3. Squamous
18
Q

What are the functions of ciliated epithelial tissue?

A
  1. Removes dirt and foreign bodies to prevent infection
  2. Moves mucous secretions for effective gaseous exchange
19
Q

How would lack of calcium affect muscle contraction?

A
  1. There would be less muscle contraction because there would be fewer myosin binding sites exposed if there was not sufficient calcium available
20
Q

Compare fast and slow twitch muscle fibres

A

Slow twitch
•provide power
•store more oxygen for aerobic respiration
•shorter recovery rate

Fast twitch
• Enables muscles to move quickly
• short bursts of energy
• anaerobic respiration
• builds up lactic acid

21
Q

What is the function of simple squamous?

A
  1. Allows substances to diffuse across
22
Q

Where is simple squamous located?

23
Q

What is the function of simple cuboidal?

A
  1. Allows the diffusion and secretion of molecules
24
Q

Where is simple cuboidal located?

A
  1. Lining kidney tubules
25
What is the function of simple columnar
1. Nutrient absorption and secretion of substances such as mucus
26
Where is simple columnar located?
1. Lines the small intestine
27
What is the function of pseudostratified
1. Allow impurities to be swept towards the throat due to the secretion of mucus
28
Where is psudostratified located?
Trachea
29
What are examples of loose connective tissue?
1. Adipose-under skin, around heart,kidneys and mammary glands - stores fat and provides insulation 2. Areolar-under all epithelial tissue-protects organs,blood vessels and nerves- gives strength to epithelial tissue
30
What are examples of dense connective tissue?
1. Fibrous- located in ligaments- attaches bones to bones and provides support to joints. 2. Elastic fibres - located in tendons- attaches muscles to bones.
31
What are examples of specialised connective tissue?
1. Bone-location:skeleton- forms the skeleton; protects and supports the main organs of the body-anchors the muscles 2. Cartilage- located in intervertebral discs, between ribs and sternum, external ear- smooths surfaces at joints and prevents collapse of trachea and bronchi 3. Blood- circulates in the cardiovascular system-transports substances around the body
