Tissues and Organ Systems

Question 1

How are stem cells different from other cells?

Answer 1

They can mitose without becoming specialized, or become specialized cells when exposed to the proper environment.

Question 2

What is the plant equivalent of stem cells?

Answer 2

Meristematic cells.

Question 3

What are the two types of stem cell?

Answer 3

Adult and Embryonic. Adult stem cells can only produce specific cells, whereas embryonic stem cells can become any type of cells or tissue.

Question 4

What are the four types of tissue?

Answer 4

Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous

Question 5

What are epithelial tissue and where are they found?

Answer 5

They are the protective tissue that covers body cavities and organs (EX: Skin or stomach lining).

Question 6

What is connective tissue and what does it do?

Answer 6

Connective tissue is the tissue that joins other tissues together, such as blood, collagen, or fat.

Question 7

What are muscle tissues and what are the three types?

Answer 7

They are tissues that contract and relax that allow locomotion. There is skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth muscle. ONLY SKELETAL IS VOLUNTARY.

Question 8

What is nervous tissue?

Answer 8

Tissues that can transmit impulses and control what the different organs and tissues do.

Question 9

What types of responses can nerve tissues trigger?

Answer 9

Glands, which secrete liquid, or Muscle response, which triggers spasms or voluntary movements.

Question 10

What are the different types of plant tissue?

Answer 10

Meristematic, Epidermal, Ground, and Vascular.

Question 11

What is plant meristematic tissue?

Answer 11

It is a tissue that divides by mitosis and allows growth of new parts of the plant.

Question 12

What is plant epidermal tissue?

Answer 12

The waxy layer present on most plant surfaces that are exposed. It is a semipermable membrane (allows water and gas exchange)

Question 13

What is ground tissue?

Answer 13

Ground tissue is what stores food and water in the roots, as well as being the site of photosynthesis in leaves and providing rigidity in the stem.

Question 14

What are the two types of plant vascular tissue and how do they differ?

Answer 14

Xylem and Phloem. Xylem transports water up to the leaves, and phloem moves sugars and water both up and down depending on the season.

Question 15

What are the organ systems of a plant?

Answer 15

The root and shoot.

Question 16

What are the 11 organ systems?

Answer 16

Skeltal
Nervous
Circulatory
Lymphatic (transporting lymph and removing fluid from tissues)
Respiratory
Endocrine (Glands and hormones)
Urinary/Excretory 
Reproductive
Digestive
Muscular
Integumentary (skin hair nails and teeth)

Question 17

What is the organ that allows for reproduction in plant cells?

Answer 17

Flowers

Question 18

On a diagram of the heart, which side is the left side?

Answer 18

The right one (I know, right?)

Question 19

Which chamber of the heart is on the top?

Answer 19

The atrium

Question 20

Which chamber of the heart is on the bottom?

Answer 20

The ventricles

Question 21

What is the name of the three valves that pump blood out of the heart?

Answer 21

The aorta

Question 22

What is the name of the artery that pumps blood to be oxygenated?

Answer 22

The pulmonary artery.

Question 23

What are platelets?

Answer 23

They are the small cells in blood involved in clotting.

Question 24

What are two examples of connective tissue?

Answer 24

Blood and ligaments (ligaments connect muscle to bone)
