UNIT TWO TISSUES

Question 1

Epithelium tissue

Answer 1

• Laid on or covering
• Forms boundaries
• separates us from the outside world
• nearly all substances given off or received by the body must pass through this layer

Question 2

4 types of tissue

Answer 2

Epithelium tissue - covering
connective- supporting
nervous- controlling
muscle- movement

Question 3

functions of epithelium

Answer 3

protection
absorption
filtration
secretion

Question 4

How is Tissue organized?

Answer 4

Into organs
Heart
Lungs
Kidneys

Question 5

(first name) Simple epithelium vs Stratified

Answer 5

simple- one cell layer
stratified- more than one cell layer

Question 6

squamous

Answer 6

flat

Question 7

cuboidal

Answer 7

cube

Question 8

columnar

Answer 8

columns

Question 9

What are tissues?

Answer 9

A group of cells which are similar in structure and function

Question 10

examples of epithelial cells

Answer 10

esophagus
mouth
outer portion of the skin

Question 11

functions of connective tissue

Answer 11

• connects body parts
• found everywhere in the body
• most abundant and widely distributed of the tissue types
  -protects supports and binds together other body tissues
  -well vascularized
  -subcutaneous tissue
  -beneath the skin

Question 12

what are bones?

Answer 12

osseous tissue
cavities in which bone cells sit in

Question 13

what is cartilage?

Answer 13

less hard and more flexible than bone
found only in few places in the body

Question 14

characteristics of dense connective tissue

Answer 14

• has collagen fibers as it’s main matrix element
  -forms strong rope like structures
• tendons
  -attach skeletal muscle to bones
• ligaments
• connect bone to bone at joints
• makes up the lower layers of the skin where it is arranged in sheets

Question 15

loose connective tissue

Answer 15

adipose tissue
fat
forms subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin
insulates the body and protects it from extremes of both heat and cold

Question 16

nervous tissue

Answer 16

• made up of cells called neurons
• neurons receive and conduct electrochemical impulses from one part of the body to another.

Question 17

muscles tissue characteristics

Answer 17

contract or shorten to produce movement
muscle cells
muscle fibers because they are elongated to provide a long axis for contraction

Question 18

smooth(visceral) muscle tissue

Answer 18

when it contracts the cavity of an organ alternately becomes smaller or enlarges so that substances are propelled through the organ along the pathway.
- contracts more slowly than the other two muscle types

Question 19

where are epithelial cells found?

Answer 19

where filtration of exchange of substances by rapid diffusion occurs

Question 20

tendons

Answer 20

skeletal muscle to bones

Question 21

ligaments

Answer 21

bone to bone joint

Question 22

loose connective tissue areolar

Answer 22

all body cells obtain their nutrients and release their wastes into this tissue fluid
edema

Question 23

loose connective tissue vascular tissue

Answer 23

blood is a transport vehicle for the cardiovascular system carrying nutrients, wastes, respiratory gases

Question 24

muscle tissue skeletal

Answer 24

attached to the skeleton of the body
can be voluntary controlled
forms the flesh of the body
when skeletal muscles contract they pull on bone or skin of the body and cause body movement or changes in facial expressions

Question 25

muscle tissue cardiac

Answer 25

found only in heart
as it contracts the heart acts as a pump
cardiac muscle Is INVOLUNTARY control
we have no control over this

Question 26

muscle tissue smooth visceral

Answer 26

found in the walls of hollow organs
stomach
bladder
uterus
blood vessels
