Tissue Classification

Question 1

4 Types of Tissues

Answer 1

Epithelia
Connective
Muscular
Nervous

Question 2

Covering and Lining Epithelia

Answer 2

forms a continuous layer all over the free surfaces of the body externally (skin) or internally (tubes in lungs)

Question 3

Glandular Epithelia

Answer 3

make up most of the glands in the body where their main task is to secrete something

Question 4

Two Types of Covering/Lining Epithelia

Answer 4

Simple and Stratified

Question 5

Simple Squamous

Answer 5

flat in shape

Question 6

Simple Cuboidal

Answer 6

cube shaped, wider than they are tall

Question 7

Simple Columnar

Answer 7

taller than they are wide

Question 8

Pseudostratified Columnar

Answer 8

simple columnar cells whose nuclei appear at different heights giving the misleading impression they are stratified

Question 9

Simple Epithelia

Answer 9

• consists of a single layer of cells

- thinness of these layers is important for absorption, secretion, and filtration

Question 10

Stratified Epithelia

Answer 10

• consists of multilayered cells to help with protection

- can be keratinized or non-keratinized

Question 11

Keratinized

Answer 11

most exterior cells are dead and lose their nucleus and cytoplasm

Question 12

Stratified Squamous

Answer 12

• apical layer is squamous in shape and basal layers are either cuboidal or columnar
• most widespread stratified type

Question 13

Stratified Cuboidal

Answer 13

-composed of two cuboidal layers

Question 14

Stratified Columnar

Answer 14

• rare in body

- mainly found in pharynx, male urethra

Question 15

Transitional Epithelium

Answer 15

• cells in basal layer are cuboidal or columnar

- cells in apical layer have ability to change shape based on whether organ is stretched or relaxed (ex.bladder)

Question 16

Connective Tissue

Answer 16

cells far apart, separated by an abundant amount of ECM

Question 17

4 Types of Connective Tissue

Answer 17

Connective Tissue Proper
Cartilage
Bone
Blood

Question 18

2 Types of Connective Tissue Proper

Answer 18

Loose

Dense

Question 19

Types of Loose Connective Tissue

Answer 19

Areolar
Adipose
Reticular

Question 20

Types of Dense Connective Tissue

Answer 20

Regular
Irregular
Elastic

Question 21

Muscle Tissue

Answer 21

cells that are highly specialized for the active generation of force for contraction

Question 22

3 Types of Muscle Tissue

Answer 22

Skeletal Muscle
Smooth Muscle
Cardiac Muscle

Question 23

2 Types of Nervous Tissue Cells

Answer 23

Neurons

Glial Cells

Question 24

2 Types of Neurons

Answer 24

Sensory Neurons

Motor Neurons

Question 25

Glial Cells

Answer 25

non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support/protection for neurons in the nervous system

Question 26

CNS Glial Cells

Answer 26

Oligodendrocytes (support)
Astrocytes (form BBB)
Ependymal Cells (produce CSF)
Microglia (defence)

Question 27

PSN Glial Cells

Answer 27

Schwann Cells (form myelin sheath)
Satellite Cells
