Histology

Question 1

Lines the surface of the body, hollow organs, and spaces

Answer 1

Epithelium

Question 2

Contracts to generate a pulling or squeezing force

Answer 2

Muscle tissue

Question 3

Allows electrical information to be carried from one place to another

Answer 3

Nervous tissue

Question 4

Provides support, fills in spaces, connects other tissues to each other

Answer 4

Connective tissue

Question 5

Lines inside of hollow organs such as blood vessels, bladder, and intestines

Answer 5

Epithelium

Question 6

Functions: Protection, absorption, secretion, filtration

Answer 6

Epithelia

Question 7

Separates the epithelium and connective tissues

Answer 7

Basement membrane

Question 8

This has 1 layer

Answer 8

Single epithelium

Question 9

This has 2 or more layers

Answer 9

Stratified epithelium

Question 10

This has 1 layer, but looks like there are many layers

Answer 10

Pseudo-stratified epithelium

Question 11

These are flat cells(near free surface)

Answer 11

Squamous

Question 12

Cells that are as wide as tall

Answer 12

Cuboidal

Question 13

Cells that are taller than they are wide

Answer 13

Columnar

Question 14

Go back and forth between flat and cuboidal

Answer 14

Transitional epithelium

Question 15

Single layer of flat cells. Only will be able to identify the nuclei running parallel to the surface. Cytoplasm is too thin to see.

Answer 15

Simple squamous epithelium

Question 16

Lines digestive system distal to the esophagus(stomach, small intestine, large intestine) and is found in other places

Answer 16

Simple columnar epithelium

Question 17

Found in places subject to a lot of mechanical abrasion such as the skin, mouth, esophagus, and vagina

Answer 17

Stratified squamous epithelium

Question 18

Rare and hard to identify with light microscopes

Answer 18

Stratified cuboidal and stratified columnar epithelia

Question 19

Many cells lie near the base of the tissue, next to the connective tissue, but only a few of these reach the surface of the tissue. Many more nuclei at the base than at the surface. Those that do not reach the surface are columnar in shape.

Answer 19

Pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium

Question 20

Stratified type of epithelium cells are cuboidal when the tissue is relaxed, but can become flattened as they get stretched out

Answer 20

Transitional epithelium

Question 21

Surface cells are large and relatively clear, while deeper cells are packed more closely together

Answer 21

Transitional epithelium

Question 22

Fewer cells but a large amount of space between them(extracellular matrix)- gives tissue its characteristic appearances and functions

Answer 22

Connective tissue

Question 23

Composed of ground substance and fibers

Answer 23

Extracellular matrix

Question 24

Consists of water with many other molecules dissolved in it(mostly proteins and polysaccharides)

Answer 24

Ground substance

Question 25

Large strands of protein which are not soluble in water

Answer 25

Fibers of extracellular matrix

Question 26

Collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers

Answer 26

Fibers in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue

Question 27

Bundles of the protein collagen

Answer 27

Collagen fibers

Question 28

Small groups of collagen

Answer 28

Reticular fibers

Question 29

Embryonic connective tissue

Answer 29

Mesenchyme

Question 30

Cushions and protects many internal organs

Answer 30

Loose areolar connective tissue

Question 31

Loose structure with a lot of extracellular matrix. Many fibers in numerous directions

Answer 31

Loose areolar connective tissue

Question 32

Fibers(collagen and elastic) are denser and are not arranged in any particular direction

Answer 32

Dense irregular connective tissue

Question 33

Found in tendons and ligaments which must withstand stress in a single direction

Answer 33

Dense regular connective tissue

Question 34

Fat tissue

Answer 34

Adipose connective tissue

Question 35

Cells of adipose connective tissue are called?

Answer 35

Adipocytes

Question 36

Specialized connective tissue that provides flexible support

Answer 36

Cartilage

Question 37

3 types of cartilage

Answer 37

Hyaline, elastic, and fibrous

Question 38

Collagen fibers are not easily visible and has a smooth glass like appearance

Answer 38

Hyaline cartilage

Question 39

Tissue that is living, cellular tissues has a very large number of blood vessels and nerves supporting it

Answer 39

Bone tissue

Question 40

Contains large amounts of insoluble calcium salt, making it rigid, is possible to remove this material and make flexible

Answer 40

Extracellular matrix of bone tissue

Question 41

Central canal and all of the lamella around it

Answer 41

Osteon
