Chapter 5

Question 1

Name the 4 types of tissue

Answer 1

Epithelial, connective, muscle & nervous

Question 2

Briefly describe epithelial tissue

Answer 2

• covers the bodys surfaces
• covers and lines organs
• makes up glands

Question 3

Briefly describe connective tissue

Answer 3

• widely distributed throughout the body
• fills internal spaces
• binds, supports + protects bodys structures

Question 4

Briefly describe muscle tissue

Answer 4

-specialized for contraction
-includes skeletal, cardiac and smooth which lines walls of hollow organs
skeletal muscle attaches to bone and is used for movement of the body

Question 5

Briefly describe nervous tissue

Answer 5

• carries information from one part of the body to another via electrical impulses
• found in the brain,spinal cord and nerves

Question 6

Name the 9 types of epithelial tissue

Answer 6

simple squamous epithelium
simple cuboidal epithelium
simple columnar epithelium
stratified squamous epithelium
stratified cuboidal epithelium
stratified columnar epithelium
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
transitional epithelium
glandular epithelium

Question 7

Function and example of simple squamous epithelium

Answer 7

• lines alveoli
• forms capillary walls
• lines blood & lymph vessels
• covers body cavity membranes
• diffusion, filtration, osmosis

examples: alveoli, blood & lymph vessels

Question 8

Function and example of simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 8

• covers ovaries
• lines kidney tubules
• glandular ducts

examples: ovary surfaces, kidneys, ducts of glands

Question 9

Function and example of simple columnar epithelium

Answer 9

• found in female reproductive tubes, uterus, most digestive tract organs
• absorption, protection, secretion

example:respiratory passages

Question 10

Function and example of stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 10

• forms epidermis
• lines the mouth, esophagus, vagina and anus
• protection

example: outer layer of skin

Question 11

Function and example of stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 11

• lines mammary gland ducts
• lines sweat gland ducts
• lines salivary glands
• lines pancreas
• lines developing ovaries
• protection

example:glands

Question 12

Function and example of stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 12

• lines male urethra
• lines ductus deferens
• lines pharynx
• protection

example:male urethra & pharynx

Question 13

Function and example of pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Answer 13

• lines respiratory passages
• secretion
• protection
• movement of mucous

example: respiratory passages

Question 14

Function and example of transitional epithelium

Answer 14

• lines urinary bladder
• lines ureters
• prevents urinary tract contents diffusing back into body
• distensibility
• protection

example: urinary tract

Question 15

Function and example of glandular epithelium

Answer 15

• usually found in exocrine or endocrine glands
• secretion

example:glands

Question 16

Explain fluid connective tissue

Answer 16

Blood and lymph are fluid connective tissues that contain distinctive collections of cells in a fluid matrix.

They transport many materials between interior body cells + other cells that exchange substances with the external environment maintaining a stable internal environment.

Question 17

Name the 3 types of muscle tissue and their characteristics

Answer 17

skeletal muscle
-voluntary muscles controlled by conscious effort

smooth muscle
-composed of elongated spindle-shaped cells in muscles not under voluntary control

cardiac muscle

• myocardial/myocardium
• thick contractile middle layer of the heart wall

Question 18

Discuss the basic structure of neural tissue

Answer 18

• neurons are the basic structure of neural tissue
• respond to environmental changes by transmitting impulses along axons (cellular processes) to other neurons, to muscles r to glands.
• neurons co-ordinate,integrate + regulate a wide variety of functions in the body
