Question 0

Nervous Tissue

Answer 0

Internal communication (brain, spinal cord, nerves)

Question 1

Primary tissue types (4)

Answer 1

Nervous, muscle, epithelial and connective tissue

Question 2

Muscle tissue

Answer 2

Contracts to cause movement (muscles attached to bone (skeletal), muscles of heart (cardiac), muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth).

Question 3

Epithelial Tissue

Answer 3

Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters. (lining of digestive tract organs, skin surface (epidermis) ).

Question 4

Connective Tissue

Answer 4

Supports, protects, binds other tissues together (bones, tendons and fat)

Question 5

Simple Squamous epithelium

Answer 5

single layer of flattened cells. located in the lungs, heart, blood vessels. Allows material to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important.

Question 6

Simple cuboidal Epithelium

Answer 6

single layer of cube-like cells. Located in the kidneys, it secretes and absorbs.

Question 7

Simple columnar Epithelium

Answer 7

located in the stomach and rectum, able to absorb and secrete mucus

Question 8

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Answer 8

located in males sperm carrying ducts and trachea. it secretes substances, particularly mucus. has cilia and all cells touch the bottom.

Question 9

stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 9

Thick membraned composed of several cell layers. located in the esophagus, mouth and vagina. it protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion.

Question 10

Transitional epithelium

Answer 10

resembles both stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal. lines the bladder and stretches readily.

Question 11

Areolar (connective)

Answer 11

gel-like matrix with all three fiber types; fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells and some white blood cells.widely distributed under epithelia of body. wraps and cushions organs.

Question 12

Adipose (connective)

Answer 12

Under skin, around kidneys and eyeballs, in breasts, within abdomen. provides reserve food fuel; insulates against heat loss; supports and protects organs.

Question 13

reticular (connective)

Answer 13

lymph nodes and spleen, network of reticular fibers in a loose ground substance. supports other cells types.

Question 14

Dense regular (connective)

Answer 14

collagen fiber with nuclei fibroblasts. located in tendons and ligaments, attaches muscles to bones or to muscles.

Question 15

elastic (connective)

Answer 15

found within the walls of arteries. allows tissues to recoil after stretching.
