Question 1

Name the 4 tissue categories

Answer 1

Connective tissue, Epithelial tissue, Nerve tissue, Muscle tissue

Question 2

What is tissue?

Answer 2

Two or more cells that share a common structure, function, & embryological organ

Question 3

What is epithelial tissue?

Answer 3

Composed of closely packed cells

Question 4

Characteristics of epithelial tissue

Answer 4

Covers the body’s surface, lines internal cavities

Functions: Diffusion, secretion, absorption,filteration, protection

Question 5

Connective tissue

Answer 5

is composed of a few cells surrounded by lots of extracellular matrix (fibers, fluids, minerals)

Question 6

Mesenchyme

Answer 6

embryologic connective tissue

Question 7

Characteristics of connective tissue

Answer 7

Most abundant tissue, found everywhere except for body surfaces
Bind, support, protect, insulate, transport

Question 8

Connective tissues are made up of?

Answer 8

Ground substances, fibers, cells

Question 9

Ground substance

Answer 9

is the unstructured material (fluid) that fills the space between the cells and contains the fibers. It is made up of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans.

Question 10

Extracellular matrix

Answer 10

is made up of the ground substance and the fibers.

Question 11

What are the 3 types of fibers?

Answer 11

Collagen fibers, elastic fibers, reticular fibers

Question 12

Collagen fibers

Answer 12

Most abundant; provide tensile strength; found in bone, cartilage, tendon, ligaments

Question 13

Elastic fibers

Answer 13

Elastin protein allows them to stretch and recoil; found in skin, lungs, and blood vessel walls

Question 14

Reticular fibers

Answer 14

Short, branching fibers that surround small blood vessels and support soft tissue of some organs

Question 15

Types of loose connective tissue

Answer 15

Areolar, Adipose, Reticular

Question 16

Types of dense connective tissue

Answer 16

Dense regular, Dense irregular

Question 17

Three classes of cartilage

Answer 17

Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage

Question 18

Simple squamous epithelium (structure)

Answer 18

Structure: one layer of flat cells

Question 19

Simple cuboidal epithelium (structure)

Answer 19

Structure: one layer of cube-shaped cells

Question 20

Simple columnar epithelium (structure)

Answer 20

Structure: one layer of column-shaped cells

Question 21

Simple squamous epithelium (function)

Answer 21

Function: diffusion or filtration

Question 22

Simple cuboidal epithelium (function)

Answer 22

secretion or absorption

Question 23

Simple columnar epithelium (function)

Answer 23

Function: secretion or absorption

Question 24

Location of simple squamous epithelium

Answer 24

lining blood capillaries, lining alveoli of lungs, filtration membrane of kidney, serous membranes of body cavities

Question 25

Location of simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 25

glands and ducts, kidney tubules

Question 26

Location of simple columnar epithelium

Answer 26

lining of stomach, intestines, and uterus (mucous membrane)
