Lab 16 Outline: Vertebrate Tissue

Question 1

epithelial tissue

Answer 1

covering and lining of the organs

protection, exchange, and production of materials

Question 2

simple

Answer 2

one layer

Question 3

stratified

Answer 3

two or more layers

Question 4

squamous

Answer 4

thin flat cells

Question 5

simple squamous

Answer 5

exchange of materials

ex: capillaries and alveoli

Question 6

simple stratified

Answer 6

protection

ex: oral mucosa, and epidermis

Question 7

cubodial

Answer 7

cube or pyramid shape

lines ducts and secretory portions of glands( pancreas and thyroid)

Question 8

columnar

Answer 8

• tall and narrow
• secretion, absorption, and transport of nutrients

ex: stomach and small intestine

Question 9

Muscle Tissue

Answer 9

movement of body parts

Question 10

cardiac muscle

Answer 10

cross striations
branched
few nuclei
involuntary
walls of heart

Question 11

skeletal muscle

Answer 11

cross striations
unbranched
hundreds of nuclei
under voluntary control
40% of body weight

Question 12

smooth muscle

Answer 12

no cross striations
spindle shaped cells
large nuclei 
involuntary
long, sustained contraction

ex: walls of blood vessels and intestines

Question 13

connective tissues

Answer 13

• extracellular matrix; up to 90% of volume, varying consistencies
• few scattered cells
• adhesion, shaping, structural strength and transport

Question 14

Bone

Answer 14

ECM: collagen fibers and CaPO4
lacunae with osteocytes
canaliculi
lamellae
central blood vessles
heavy and hard for protection and support

Question 15

Hyaline Cartilage

Answer 15

• ECM; firm with cartilage
• little vascular supply causing nutrients to diffuse through the matrix
• lightweight and flexible
• support and protection ( larynx, trachea, and bone articulations)
• most bones begin as cartilage

Question 16

areolar

Answer 16

ECM: few elastic and collagen fibers: soft and watery

support and cushion

Question 17

adipose

Answer 17

cells: adipocytes

insulation, cushoining, and food storage

Question 18

dense (fibrous)

Answer 18

ECM; bunch of collagen fibers in one direction

-structural strength and support

Question 19

Blood

Answer 19

ECM: plasma ( mostly water and electrolytes)

Question 20

Erythrocytes

Answer 20

RBC

• biconcave
• anucleated

Question 21

Leukocytes

Answer 21

WBC

• nucleated
• immune response

Question 22

thrombocytes

Answer 22

Platelets

clotting

Question 23

Nervous Tissue

Answer 23

primary cell type: neuron (plus other supporting cells)

a. cell body
b. axons
c. dendrites
d. synapse
- pathways to conduct information throughout the nervous system
