Tissues

Question 1

What are the four types of tissues

Answer 1

Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Nervous

Question 2

What is epithelial tissue used for?

Answer 2

It covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways and chambers, and produces glandular secretions

Question 3

What is connective tissue used for?

Answer 3

It fills internal spaces, provides structural support, and stores energy

Question 4

What is muscle tissue used for?

Answer 4

Contracts to produce active movement

Question 5

What is nervous tissue used for?

Answer 5

Conducts electric impulses and carries information

Question 6

Types of Epithelial Tissue?

Answer 6

Simple (one layer), Stratified (two or more layers), psuedostratified (has one layer but appears stratified)

Question 7

Epithelial Tissue Cell Shapes?

Answer 7

Squamous (Thin and flat with a “squished nuclei”), Cuboidal (cubed shaped cells with a centered and round nucleus), Columnar (long cell shape with a nucleus at the bottom)

Question 8

Types of Glandular Epithelia

Answer 8

Endocrine (Secrete into the bloodstream or lymph) & Exocrine glands (Secrete outside the body)

Question 9

Types of secretion

Answer 9

Merocrine secretion (Exocytosis, Ex. Sweat), Apocrine Secretion (Ex. Sweat from pubic area), Hulocrine Secretion (Bursting of glandular cells, Ex. Sebum)

Question 10

Types of cartilage?

Answer 10

Hyaline, Fibrous, and Elastic

Question 11

Where is Hyaline Cartilage found? Characteristics?

Answer 11

Between bones and joints and makes up the tracheal cartilage rings. It helps reduce friction.

Question 12

Where is Elastic cartilage found? Characteristics?

Answer 12

Auricle of Ear. It is the most flexible form of cartilage.

Question 13

Where is Fibrous cartilage found? Characteristics?

Answer 13

In the invertibral disks and within the knee joint. It resists compression and heals poorly and slowly.

Question 14

Structure of a Osteon?

Answer 14

Starts with a center canal
The canal is surrounded by concentric lamellae
The concentric lamellae has osteocytes in Lacunae
Also within the lamellae are canaliculi which help with diffusion of nutrients
Osteons have perforating canals that link osteons side by side as well as interstitial lamellae
The outer layer of the bone that makes it smooth is called the circumferential lamellae

Question 15

What is Fascia?

Answer 15

A type of connective tissue that connects organs with the rest of the body

Question 16

Types of fascia?

Answer 16

Superficial Fascia (between skin and underlying organs), Deep Fascia, and Subserous Fascia

Question 17

What are the four types of membranes?

Answer 17

Mucous membranes (Line respiratory and digestive tracks), Serous membranes (lines pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities), Cutaneous membranes (makes up the skin “Thick and Waterproof”), Synovial membranes (lines joint cavities “produces synovial fluid”)
