tissues

Question 1

structure of squamous tissue

Answer 1

flattened cells on a basement membrane

Question 2

function of squamous tissue

Answer 2

lines tissue, covers surface of organs, thin layer of cells for exchange

Question 3

location in body of squamous tissue

Answer 3

walls of alveoli, blood vessels, capsule of nephron

Question 4

structure of cuboidal tissue

Answer 4

cells have a cube shape, one cell thick

Question 5

function of cuboidal tissue

Answer 5

secretion and reabsorption

Question 6

location in body of cuboidal tissue

Answer 6

kidney tubules, glandular ducts

Question 7

structure of columnar tissue

Answer 7

elongated, column shaped, SOME cells have microvilli

Question 8

function of columnar tissue

Answer 8

microvilli increase surface area for absorption

Question 9

location in body of columnar tissue

Answer 9

small intestine

Question 10

structure of ciliated columnar tissue

Answer 10

elongated, column shaped, have cilia

Question 11

function of ciliated columnar tissue

Answer 11

cilia waft to move dust and dirt (trapped in mucus) out of air passages

Question 12

location in body of ciliated columnar tissue

Answer 12

trachea, bronchi, fallopian tubes

Question 13

structure of glandular tissue

Answer 13

secretory epithelial cells (secrete substances) organise themselves into gland shapes

Question 14

function of glandular tissue

Answer 14

secrete enzymes, hormones, saliva, mucus

Question 15

location in body of glandular tissue

Answer 15

salivary glands, pancreas, gastric glands in stomach mucosa

Question 16

3 types of muscle

Answer 16

skeletal, smooth, cardiac

Question 17

structure of skeletal muscle (tissue)

Answer 17

attached to bones, muscle cells joined to form fibres, stripes caused by overlapping protein molecules in cells

Question 18

function of skeletal muscle (tissue)

Answer 18

skeletal muscle, moves bones, maintains posture and body position, supports soft tissues

Question 19

location in body of skeletal muscle

Answer 19

attached to bone by tendon, generates locomotion in mammals (movement from one place to another)

Question 20

structure of smooth muscle (tissue)

Answer 20

individual spindle shaped cells, which can shorten in length, cells don’t have stripes

Question 21

function of smooth muscle (tissue)

Answer 21

rhythmical involuntary contraction but less powerfully than skeletal muscle

Question 22

location in body of smooth muscle

Answer 22

walls of hollow organs, walls of digestive tract (intestines, stomach), skin, bladder

Question 23

structure of cardiac muscle

Answer 23

have stripes but lack the long fibres of skeletal muscle, the fibres are striated and branched - attached at their ends to adjoining fibres by thick plasma membranes (intercalated discs)

Question 24

function of cardiac muscle

Answer 24

rhythmic contraction to pump blood through the heart

Question 25

location in the body of cardiac muscle

Answer 25

heart

Question 26

which muscle type is voluntary contraction and which 2 are involuntary

Answer 26

voluntary: skeletal
involuntary: smooth and cardiac

Question 27

functions of connective tissue

Answer 27

connects, supports or separates tissues and organs, contains cells and elastic and collagen fibres in an extracellular fluid (matrix)

Question 28

2 examples of connective tissue

Answer 28

blood, bone, ligament, tendon, fibrous tissues

Question 29

functions of nervous tissue

Answer 29

made of nerve cells (neurons) and glial cells – generates and transmits electrical impulses, sensory input, controls muscles and glands
