Tissues

Question 1

Stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 1

multiple layers of column-shaped cells; protection and secretion; (ex. esophageal lining)

Question 2

ciliated simple columnar

Answer 2

one layer of column-shaped cells with little hairs (cilia) on the exterior

the cilia help move fluid along the tissue’s surface.

Question 3

stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 3

multiple layers or flat disc-like cells; protection; make up the epidermis

Question 4

stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 4

multiple layers of cube-shaped cells; found in ducts, glands, and the male urethra

Question 5

transitional epithelium

Answer 5

stretches and permits distension of urine; are throughout the urinary tract.

Question 6

Connective tissue

Answer 6

fewer cells; binding and support, protection, insulation, transportation

made of water and organic molecules

Question 7

Areolar Connective tissue

Answer 7

(loose tissue) wraps and cushions organs; widely distributed throughout the body

Question 8

Adipose connective tissue

Answer 8

(fat tissue) insulation, protection, energy storage

Question 9

Dense Irregular connective tissue

Answer 9

provides structural strength; stretchy; in digestive tract, dermis

Question 10

Dense Regular connective tissue

Answer 10

connects the skeletal system; tendons/ligaments; withstands stress

Question 11

Blood connective tissue

Answer 11

transportation; has liquid extracellular matrix

Question 12

Bone connective tissue

Answer 12

movement, protection, structure; hard tissue

Question 13

cartilage connective tissue

Answer 13

dense, flexible tissue, assists in movement

Question 14

Muscle tissue functions

Answer 14

movement, posture, joint stabilization, heat generation

Question 15

skeletal muscle tissue

Answer 15

striated and voluntary (ex. biceps and triceps)

Question 16

cardiac muscle tissue

Answer 16

striated and involuntary
- (ex. heart)

Question 17

smooth muscle tissue

Answer 17

smooth and involuntary
- (ex. stomach, bladder, airways)

Question 18

simple squamous epithelium

Answer 18

single layer of squamous cells; diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion

Question 19

simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 19

single layer of cuboidal cells; secretion and absorption

Question 20

Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

Answer 20

nonliving material in connective tissue consisting of ground substance and fibers that separates the living cells; determines the traits of connective tissue

Question 21

Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

Answer 21

nonliving material in connective tissue consisting of ground substance and fibers (collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers) that separates the living cells; determines the traits of connective tissue

Question 22

Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

Answer 22

nonliving material in connective tissue consisting of ground substance and fibers that separate the living cells; determines the traits of connective tissue
