Answer 2

thin and flat

Question 3

Cuboidal

Answer 3

small boxes

Question 4

Columnar

Answer 4

slender rectangles

Question 5

Simple Squamous

Answer 5

• lines the interior of blood vessels and chambers of the heart, lines air sacs of lungs
• Absorption and secretion

Question 6

Simple Cuboidal

Answer 6

• lines the interior ducts, and thyroid glands

- absorption and secretion

Question 7

Simple Columnar

Answer 7

• lines stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urine tubes, and collecting ducts of kidneys
• absorption and secretion

Question 8

Stratified Squamous

Answer 8

• surface of skin; interior lining of mouth, throat, esophagus, anus, and vagina
• provides physical protection

Question 9

Stratified Cuboidal

Answer 9

• RARE- found in interior sweat gland ducts

- Protection, secretion, and absorption

Question 10

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

Answer 10

• small areas of the pharynx (throat), anus, mammary gland, saliva gland ducts, and urethra
• protection

Question 11

Transitional Epithelium

Answer 11

• lines interior urinary bladder, renal pelvis, and uterus

- permits expansion and recoilial after stretching

Question 12

Pseudostratified C C Epithelium

Answer 12

• lines interior of nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi
• protection and secretion
• Has cilia

Question 13

Endocrine Glands

Answer 13

• glands DONOT posses ducts

- they produce hormones that travel into the bloodstream

Question 14

Exocrine Glands

Answer 14

• possess ducts that deliver secretions to their specific targets

Question 15

Adipose Tissue

Answer 15

• deep to the skin, at sides, butt, breast, padding around eyeballs and kidneys
• provides padding and cushion

Question 16

Reticular Tissue 

Answer 16

• provides supporting framework for organs such as liver, spleen, and kidneys

Question 17

Elastic Tissue

Answer 17

• makes up ligaments in between vertebrae of the spine, has high number of elastic fibers

Question 18

Blood Tissue

Answer 18

• fluid connective tissue that transports oxygen, nutrients, wastes, and many other substances

Question 19

Hyaline Cartilage

Answer 19

• provides stiff (but flexible) support; located in the rib-cage, voice-box, trachea, and on end of long bones

Question 20

Elastic Cartilage

Answer 20

• makes up structure of the external ears.

- Provide support, but fairly flexible and returns to its original shape when distorted

Question 21

Fibrocartilage

Answer 21

• resist compression; prevents bone to bone contact and limits mobility
• Forms the meniscus in the knee joint and found an inter-vertebral disc

Question 22

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Answer 22

• between skeletal muscles and skeleton (tendons)

- provides firm attachment, reduces friction

Question 23

Dense Irregular Connective tissue

Answer 23

• provides strength and prevents force applied from many directions

Question 24

Skeletal muscle tissue

Answer 24

• combined with connective tissue

- moves or stabilizes position of skeleton

Question 25

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Answer 25

• heart

- circulates blood

Question 26

Smooth muscle tissue

Answer 26

• moves food, urine, and reproductive tract secretion

- encircles blood vessels

Question 27

Nerve tissue

Answer 27

• brain, nerves

-

• areolar - fibrocartilage
• adipose - elastic cartilage
• reticular - blood
• dense regular- irregular
• lymph. - bone
