Question 4

the study of disease-related to tissue

Answer 4

histopathology

Question 5

animal tissue can be categorized into the following:

Answer 5

epithelial
connective
muscular
nervous

Question 6

• it covers the outer surface of all the organs of the
  body and also lines the cavities of all the hollow
  organs or vessels of the body and forms various glands
• it is involved in protection, absorption, excretion and
  secretion
  -it consists of one or more cellular layers

Answer 6

Epithelial or Covering
Tissue/epithelium

Question 7

• has only one layer of cell classified as squamous,
  columnar and cuboidal, where the shape and the
  structure are the bases
• this mainly makes up the linings of ducts, tubes and
  other cavities of the body

Answer 7

Simple Epithelial Tissue

Question 8

Structure and Function
- a single layer of flattened, tightly bound cells; for
exchange of materials in the process such as diffusion
and filtration
Location
- forming capillary walls; lining air sacs(alveoli) of
lungs

Answer 8

Simple Squamous

Question 9

Structure and Function
- a single layer of cube-shaped cells; for excretion,
secretion, or absorption
Location
- covering the surface of ovaries, the lining of kidney tubules,
salivary ducts and pancreatic ducts

Answer 9

Simple Cuboidal

Question 10

Structure and Function
- a single layer of a column or brick-shaped cells; for
protection, secretion, and absorption
Location
- the lining of the digestive tract, gallbladder, and excretory
ducts of some glands

Answer 10

Simple Columnar

Question 11

• comprises of more than one layer of cells, classified
  according to the structure of the topmost tissue layer
• The key function is protection and has a limited role in
  secretion

Answer 11

STRATIFIED EPITHELIAL
TISSUE

Question 12

Structure and Function
- multilayered and generates quickly; for protection
Location
- often found in the skin(epidermis), esophagus

Answer 12

STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS

Question 13

Structure and Function
- multilayered cube-shaped cells fused together in
some glands; strengthening of luminal walls
Location
- ducts of larger sweat glands, salivary glands and
pancreas

Answer 13

STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL

Question 14

Structure and Function
- elongated cell structure, for protection and secretion
Location
- usually found in conjunctiva and human salivary
glands

Answer 14

STRATIFIED COLUMNAR

Question 15

Structure and Function
- single layer of cells, irregularly shaped cells; for
protection, secretion
Location
- the lining of respiratory passageways and auditory

Answer 15

PSEUDO-STRATIFIED
COLUMNAR

Question 16

Structure and Function
- numerous layers of rounded cells, for distention
Location
- the lining of the urinary bladder and portion of ureters and
urethra

Answer 16

TRANSITIONAL
EPITHELIUM

Question 17

• important for support, protection, transport,
  insulation, and repair
• most abundant among other animal tissue since
  widely distributed in the body
  -it structurally differs according to their localization

Answer 17

Connective or
Supporting Tissue

Question 18

classification of connective tissue:

Answer 18

Loose(areolar)
Dense(fibrous)
Elastic
Reticular
Adipose
Hyaline
Fibro-cartilage
spongy bone
compact bone
blood

Question 19

• function is for movement and locomotion that’s why
  they are structurally elongated
• involved in voluntary and involuntary movements

Answer 19

Muscular or
Contractile Tissue

Question 20

Structure and Function
- a striated, multinucleated cylindrical fiber that occurs in
fasciculi (slender bundles); rapid voluntary and
involuntary movement of joints of the skeleton
Location
- spanning joints of the skeleton via tendons

Answer 20

Skeletal Muscle

Question 21

Structure and Function
- elongated, spindle-shaped fiber with a single nucleus;
slow involuntary movements of internal organs
Location
- walls of hollow internal organs

Answer 21

SMOOTH MUSCLE

Question 22

Structure and Function
- branched, striated fiber with single, rapid involuntary
rhythmic contractions
Location
- walls of your hearts

Answer 22

CARDIAC MUSCLE

Question 23

• forms the communication network of the nervous
  system and important in information processing
• other function includes response to stimuli,
  stimulates and transmits information within the body
• involved in controlling and coordinating many
  metabolic activities

Answer 23

NERVOUS OR
CONDUCTING TISSUES
