Answer 7

Tight junctions

Question 8

In this type of cell junction, the transmembrane proteins are integrins which anchor the cell to a basement membrane

Answer 8

hemidesmosomes

This tissue has an extensive extracellular matrix, usually has many blood vessels, and provides oxygen and nutrients to overlying tissues

Answer 9

Connective tissues

Question 10

Which tissue, depending on its location, and functions, is sometimes called endothelia or mesothelia?

Answer 10

simple squamous epithelium

Question 11

Which type of tissue is found in the tubules of kidneys, the covering of the ovaries, and also in glandular tissues such as the thyroid gland? Its function is absorption and secretion

Answer 11

simple cuboidal epithelium

Question 12

This type of epithelium has elastic properties. It can stretch and return to a less stretched condition. When stretched, the cells at the top flatten out and when relaxed they become rounded. What is this tissue?

Answer 12

Transitional
