Answer 1

Voluntary- under our control
Skeletal muscles- “meat”
*striated

Smooth muscle- involuntary muscle
*long patches/ nuclei

Cardiac muscle- wall of the heart
Allows electrochemical impulses to be conveyed across the tissue
*striated & has intercalated disks

Question 2

Answer 2

In brain, spinal cords & nerves

A. Neuron tissue- transmit signals, electrochemical communication

B. Glial cells- protection, support, immunity

Question 3

Answer 3

Collection of cells and extracellular materials that perform specific functions

Question 4

4 major types of tissue-

Answer 4

Epithelium
Nervous
Connection
Muscle

Question 5

Epithelial tissue characteristic

Answer 5

• Found throughout The body covers all body services both inside and out
• main glandular tissue (secretion)
• attached to underlying connective tissue by noncellular nonliving basement membrane
• Usually has good blood supply
• cells reproduce rapidly (rapid healing)
• cells tightly packed together

Question 6

Function of epithelial tissue

Answer 6

Protect 
secrete(make something good for body)
absorb 
excrete 
sensory perception

Question 7

The 6 specific types of epithelial tissue:

What are they categorized by?

Answer 7

Simple squamous 
Simple cuboidal 
Simple columnar 
Stratified squamous 
Pseudostritified columnar 
Transitional epithelial

Question 8

Simple squamous-

Function?

Found?

Answer 8

Simple squamous- single layer (simple) of very thin, flattened cells (squamous)

Function: quick diffusion & filtration

Found in aid sac of lungs & walls of capillaries

Question 9

Simple columnar-

Function?

Found?

Answer 9

Single layer, elongated cells with their nuclei about in the same potion (usually near membrane)

Function:
•secrete & absorb
-constrains scatter goblet cells functioning in the secretion of mucus
-some columnar cells (involved in absorption) have tiny finger-like processes from their free surface called cilia

Found in the lining of digestive tract & uterus

Question 10

Simple cuboidal-

Function?

Found?

Answer 10

Single layer, cube shaped cells.

Function: secretion & absorb

Found in lining of kidney tubules, ducts, covering surface of ovaries

Question 11

Stratified squamous-

Function?

Found?

Answer 11

Multi-layer squamous (flattened) cells

Function: protection

Found in lining body favorites like the oral cavity, anal of skin canal & vagina

Question 12

Pseudostritified columnar-

Answer 12

Appear “stratified” but really is single layer with nuclei in diff. positions, uneven giving the appearance of layered cells.
•contains goblet cells

Function: secretion & absorption movement

Found in the lining air passages like the tubes & tubes of the reproductive system

Question 13

Transitional epithelium-

Answer 13

Thick layered cuboidal cells.

Function: distend & contract, also forms barrier to infection

Found in lining of bladder

Question 14

SHAPE:
squamous-
Cuboidal-
Columnar-

Answer 14

Flat (used for diffusion)
Square (circle like too)
Column (rectangle)

Question 15

LAYERING
Single-
More than one-

Answer 15

Simple epi. Tissue

Stratified
