First Exam

Question 0

This type of leukocyte combat parasitic and viral infections. They contain RNA-destroying molecules enabling them to eliminate viruses.

Answer 0

Eosinophils

Question 1

This type of leukocyte is the first line of defense against bacterial infection. They are involved in early inflammation and they eliminate the infecting organisms by consuming them.

Answer 1

Neutrophils

Question 2

This type of leukocyte store histamine which causes inflammation especially during allergic reactions.

Answer 2

Basophils

Question 3

This type of leukocyte identifies foreign matters in the body and destroy them. They also produce antibodies which makes recognition and elimination of these foreign matters faster when they attack the body again. They dominate in the later stages of the infection.

Answer 3

Lymphocytes

Question 4

This type of leukocyte attacks invading foreign substances by dividing into macrophages. Unlike lymphocytes, they don’t need any memory of the foreign substance.

Answer 4

Monocytes

Question 5

This animal tissue covers the surface and lines various things; highly specialized depending on functions; and is based on the number of layers and shape/type of the cell.

Answer 5

Epithelial

Question 6

This type of epithelium is involved in gaseous exchange, diffusion of hotspots, and filtration. It is flat, tightly packed, the nucleus is spherical/disk shaped, and has only a single layer.

Answer 6

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Question 7

This type of epithelium is specialized in areas with high abrasion. It can be keratinized or not.

Answer 7

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Question 8

This type of epithelium has its basal nuclei all in one line, elongated cell, and has only a single layer.

Answer 8

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Question 9

This type of epithelium is similar in appearance to simple columnar except for the nuclei. It has a brush-like surface for cilia.

Answer 9

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Question 10

This type of epithelium is involved in the secretion and absorption in kidney ducts, thyroid, and other glands. Its cells are cube-shaped, usually as a lining for ducts, thus the presence of lumen.

Answer 10

Simple Cuboidal

Question 11

This type of animal tissue is usually suspended in a matrix and is involved in connection and support.

Answer 11

Connective Tissues

Question 12

This type of connective tissue is involved in energy storage, insulation, and cushioning. It appears to be hollow, rather large, and the nucleus is pushed to the border of the cell.

Answer 12

Adipose

Question 13

This type of connective tissue is involved in immune function, nutrient and oxygen transport, and clotting.

Answer 13

Blood

Question 14

This type of connective tissue is for structural support and immune function.

Answer 14

Bone

Question 15

This type of connective tissue is involved in the structure and growth.

Answer 15

Cartilage

Question 16

This type of cartilage is for the flexibility.

Answer 16

Elastic Cartilage

Question 17

This type of cartilage is strong and is usually for high tension areas.

Answer 17

Fibrocartilage

Question 18

This type of cartilage is commonly found in joints for support.

Answer 18

Hyaline Cartilage

Question 19

This type of connective tissue connects several tissues together and is found all over the body.

Answer 19

Loose Fibrous Connective Tissue

Question 20

This type of connective tissue connects bones and muscles, and is found in ligaments and tendons.

Answer 20

Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue

Question 21

This type of muscle is striated, multinucleated, and voluntary.

Answer 21

Skeletal Muscle

Question 22

This type of muscle is spindle-shaped, involuntary, and has multiple functions such as lining the vascular tissue and GI tract.

Answer 22

Smooth Muscle

Question 23

This type of muscle is uninucleated, appears to be branched, and is involuntary. It is striated, less evident than skeletal muscles and has intercalated disks.

Answer 23

Cardiac Muscle
