animal tissue

Question 1

a level of organization in multicellular organisms; it consists of a group of structurally and functionally similar cells and their intercellular material.

Answer 1

Tissues

Question 2

4 basic types of tissue

Answer 2

connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

Question 3

supports other tissues and binds them together

Answer 3

connective tissue

Question 4

provides a covering

Answer 4

epithelial tissue

Question 5

includes striated muscles that move the skeleton, and smooth muscle, such as the muscles that surround the stomach.

Answer 5

Muscle tissue

Question 6

made up of nerve cells and is used to carry “messages” to and from various parts of the body.

Answer 6

Nerve tissue

Question 7

Tightly-joined closely-packed cells

One side of epithelium exposed to air or internal fluid, other side attached to a basement membrane, a dense mat of extracellular matrix (connective tissue)

Covers the outside of the body and lines the internal organs and cavities

Barrier against mechanical injury, invasive microorganisms, and fluid loss

Provides surface for absorption, excretion and transport of molecules

Answer 7

Epithelial Tissue

Question 8

type of body tissue that forms the covering on all internal and external surfaces of your body, lines body cavities and hollow organs and is the major tissue in glands.

Answer 8

Epithelial Tissue

Question 9

Location:Air sacs of the lungs, kidney glomeruli, lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.

Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration

Answer 9

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Question 10

Location: Kidney tubules, ducts and small glands, and a surface of

ovary.

Function: Secretion

Answer 10

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Question 11

Location: Lines of digestive tract, gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands.

Function: Absorption, enzyme secretion

Answer 11

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Question 12

Location: Lines the bronchi, uterine tubes and some regions of the uterus.

Function: Propels mucus or reproductive cells by ciliary action.

Answer 12

Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium

Question 13

Location: Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina. Keratinized variety lines the surface of the skin.

Function: Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion

Answer 13

Stratified Squamous

Epithelium

Question 14

bind structures together, form a framework and support for organs and the body as a whole, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, and help repair tissue damage. They occur throughout the body.

Answer 14

Connective tissues

Question 15

Location: Around kidneys,

under the skin, in bones,

within abdomen, and in

breasts.

Function: Provides reserve

fuel (lipids), insulates against

heat loss, and supports and

protects organs.

Answer 15

Adipose Tissue Cells

Question 16

Location: Widely distributed

under the epithelia of the

human body.

Function: Wraps and

cushions organs.

Answer 16

Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissues

Question 17

Location: Dermis of the skin, sub - mucosa of the

digestive tract, and fibrous capsules of organs and

joints.

Function: Provides structural strength.

Answer 17

Fibrous Connective Tissues

Question 18

Location: Bones

Function: Supports, protects, provides lever system for muscles to

act on, stores calcium and fat, and forms blood cells.

Answer 18

Bone (Osseous) Tissue

Question 19

Location: Within blood vessels.

Function: Transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes,

hormones, minerals, vitamins and other substances.

Answer 19

Vascular Tissue (Blood)

Question 20

Location: between bones e.g. the elbows, knees and ankles. Ends of the ribs. Between the vertebrae in the spine.

Function: a strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones. It acts as a shock absorber throughout your body.

Answer 20

Hyaline Cartilage tissue

Question 21

is the main tissue of our nervous system. It monitors and regulates the functions of the body. Nervous tissue consists of two cells: nerve cells or neurons and glial cells, which helps transmit nerve impulses and also provides nutrients to neurons.

Answer 21

Nervous or the nerve tissue

Question 22

Location: Brain, spinal cord,

and nerves.

Function: Transmits electrical

signals from sensory

receptors to the spinal cord

or brain, and from the spinal

cord or brains to effectors

(muscles and glands).

Answer 22

Nervous Tissue

Question 23

composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts. The tissue is highly cellular and is well supplied with blood vessels.

Answer 23

Muscle tissue

Question 24

Location: In skeletal muscles

attached to bones.

Function: Voluntary

movement, locomotion.

Answer 24

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Question 25

Location: Mostly in the walls of

hollow organs.

Function: Moves substances or

objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby)

along internal passageways;

involuntary control.

Answer 25

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Question 26

Location: The walls of the heart.

Functions: As the wall of the heart

contract, cardiac muscle tissue

propels blood into the circulation;

involuntary control.

Answer 26

Cardiac Muscle Tissue
