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

24
Q

Where is simple cuboidal located?

A
  1. Lining kidney tubules
25
Q

What is the function of simple columnar

A
  1. Nutrient absorption and secretion of substances such as mucus
26
Q

Where is simple columnar located?

A
  1. Lines the small intestine
27
Q

What is the function of pseudostratified

A
  1. Allow impurities to be swept towards the throat due to the secretion of mucus
28
Q

Where is psudostratified located?

A

Trachea

29
Q

What are examples of loose connective tissue?

A
  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
Q

What are examples of dense connective tissue?

A
  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
Q

What are examples of specialised connective tissue?

A
  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
