What would stratified squamous epithelia look like?

Answer 13

Many layers of flat cells

Question 14

Answer 14

Many layers of cube-like/column-like cells

Question 15

Describe the location, characteristics and structural and functional classification of epithelial tissue

Answer 15

Locations: Skin, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys

Characteristics: Covers a surface or lines a cavity, avascular, high cellularity

Structural: Mainly cells (not matrix) that fit tightly, forming continuous sheets or layers, minimal extracellular space, basement membrane (anchoring).

Functional Classification: Protection, absorption, filtration, secretion.

Question 16

Describe the location, characteristics and structural and functional classification of connective tissue

Answer 16

Locations: Anywhere that is not epithelial, muscle or nervous tissue! eg cartilage, bone, blood

Characteristics: Common origin, varying vascularity, low cellularity (low ratio of cells to matrix)

Structural: Made up of ground substance, fibres and cells

Functional Classification: Support, binding, protection, insulation, transportation

Question 17

The two styles of connective tissue are

Answer 17

Loose & Dense

Question 18

The 4 connective tissues in the body

Answer 18

Connective tissue proper, bone, cartilage & blood

Question 19

Describe the location, characteristics and structural and functional classification of muscle tissue

Answer 19

Locations: Virtually all organs & specific locations

Characteristics: High cellularity, highly vascularised, excitability, amitotic (mature cells largely cannot divide)

Structural: Elongated shape, cells are called fibers, cells can fuse to form multi-cellular fibers

Functional Classification: Support, movement, thermoregulation, propulsion of blood, digested food and urine.

Question 20

Three types of muscle tissue

Answer 20

Skeletal, cardiac (heart) and smooth (organs)

Question 21

Describe the location, characteristics and structural and functional classification of nervous tissue

Answer 21

Locations: Brain, spinal cord, virtually all organs

Characteristics: Excitability, amitotic, longevity

Structural: Look like a splash

Functional Classification: Connect all parts of body to provide communication.
