Zoology Lesson 3 BH

Question 1

It is the field of study that involves the microscopic examination of tissue appearance, organization, and function.

Answer 1

Histology

Question 2

This term is used to describe a group of cells that are similar in structure and perform a specific function.

Answer 2

Tissue

Question 3

Give the four types of tissues

Answer 3

epithelial tissues, connective tissues, muscular tissues, and nervous tissues.

Question 4

It is the group of cells that cover the exterior surfaces of the body, line internal cavities, and passageways, and form certain glands.

Answer 4

Epithelial Tissues

Question 5

The function of ________ tissue is to protect the body from potential infectious agents, absorb nutrients, and provide sensation.

Answer 5

Epithelial Tissue

Question 6

It consists of only one layer of cells. These cells can be categorized based on their shape as squamous, cuboidal, or columnar.

Answer 6

Simple Epithelium

Question 7

It can be found in the endothelium of blood vessels, alveoli, and mesothelium that covers the body cavities.

Answer 7

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Question 8

It is characterized by box-shaped cells, and it is commonly found in the linings of the kidney where the reabsorption of minerals occurs.

Answer 8

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Question 9

It is characterized by cylindrical cells with appreciable height, and its primary function is protection.

Answer 9

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Question 10

It is composed of more than one layer of cells, and its cell shape can vary, including squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional, or pseudostratified.

Answer 10

Stratified Epithelium

Question 11

It has protective functions
attributed to its multilayered
cellular composition.

Answer 11

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Question 12

It is composed of cuboidally shaped cells arranged in multiple layers.

Answer 12

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

Question 13

It is found in the salivary
gland ducts in humans

Answer 13

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

Question 14

Cells in this type of epithelium can
change in form, depending on the
degree of distention of the bladder.

Answer 14

Transitional Epithelium

Question 15

It is characterized by cells with nuclei positioned at different levels, creating the impression that the membrane is composed of more than a single layer of cells.

Answer 15

Pseudostratified Epithelium

Question 16

It consists of both actual connective tissue cells and protein fibers such as collagen and elastin. Its functions include support, protection, transport, tissue repair, and immunologic reactions.

Answer 16

Connective Tissues

Question 17

It is predominantly made up of type I collagen and can be found in tendons and periosteum

Answer 17

Collagenous Connective Tissue

Question 18

It is primarily formed by type II collagen and is not easily visualized under the microscope unless stained. It is often found in the bronchi, trachea, blood vessels, and hollow organs.

Answer 18

Elastic Connective Tissue

Question 19

It is primarily formed by type III collagen and serves as the supporting framework of lymphoid organs.

Answer 19

Reticular connective tissue

Question 20

It is the primary tissue for locomotion, characterized by its elongated structure as an adaptation for contraction.

Answer 20

Muscular Tissue

Question 21

It is characterized by its striated appearance and is made up of very long, cylindrical, multi-nucleated cells capable of quick and forceful contractions. These contractions are typically voluntary in control.

Answer 21

Skeletal Muscle

Question 22

It is composed of elongated branched individual cells that are configured parallel to each other. It is capable of involuntary, vigorous, and rhythmic contractions.

Answer 22

Cardiac Muscle

Question 23

It is characterized by being non-striated, involuntary, and found in the walls of internal organs.

Answer 23

Smooth Muscle

Question 24

Its function is to receive information from the environment or other nerve cells, and it processes this information before sending signals to other neurons or effector tissues.

Answer 24

Nervous Tissue

Question 25

It carries information obtained from the body and the environment to the central nervous system (CNS)

Answer 25

Sensory Neurons

Question 26

It carries impulses from the CNS to effector organs

Answer 26

Motor Neurons
