tissues

Question 1

four primary types of tissues

Answer 1

epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous

Question 2

epithelial tissue

Answer 2

sheets of cells that cover exterior surfaces of the body, line internal cavities and passageways, and form certain glands

also called epithelium

Question 3

connective tissue

Answer 3

binds cells and organs of the body together and functions in protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body

Question 4

muscle tissue

Answer 4

excitable, responding to stimulation and contracting to provide movement

occurs as three major types: skeletal (voluntary) muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle in the heart

Question 5

nervous tissue

Answer 5

excitable, allowing the propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body

Question 20

simple squamous epithelium location and function

Answer 20

location: air sacs of lungs, some kidney tubules

function: allows rapid diffusion or transport of substances through membrane; secreted lubricating serous fluid

Question 21

simple cuboidal epithelium location and function

Answer 21

location: liver, thyroid, salivary, mammary, and other glands

function: absorption and secretion; production of protective mucous coat

Question 22

simple columnar epithelium location and function

Answer 22

inner lining of stomach, intestines

absorption; movement of egg and embryo in uterine tube

Question 23

ciliated pseadostratified columnar epithelium location and function

Answer 23

respiratory tract from nasal cavity to bronchi; male urethra

secretes and propels mucus

Question 24

keestinized stratified squamous epithelium location and function

Answer 24

location: epidermis; palms and soles

function: resists abrasion and penetration by pathogenic organisms; prevents water loss through skin

Question 25

nonkerstinized stratified squamous epithelium location and function

Answer 25

location: tongue, vagina resists abrasion and penetration by pathogenic organisms

Question 26

stratified cuboidal epithelium location and function

Answer 26

sweat gland ducts contributed to sweat secretion

Question 27

urothelium/transitional location and function

Answer 27

urinary tract; bladder stretches to allow filling of urinary tract

Question 28

areolar tissue location and function

Answer 28

underlying nearly all epithelia loosely binds epithelia to deeper tissues

Question 29

reticular tissue location and function

Answer 29

lymph nodes forms supportive stroma (framework) for lymphoid organs

Question 30

dense regular connective tissue location and function

Answer 30

tendons and ligaments ligaments tightly bind bones together to resist stress

Question 31

dense irregular connect tissue location and function

Answer 31

deeper portion of dermis of skin withstands stress applied in unpredictable directions

Question 32

adipose tissue location and function

Answer 32

subcutaneous fat beneath skin energy storage; thermal insulation

Question 33

hyaline cartilage location and function

Answer 33

over ends of bones at moveable joints eases joint movement

Question 34

elastic cartilage location and function

Answer 34

external ear provides flexible elastic support

Question 35

fibrocartilage location and function

Answer 35

pubic symphysis; intervertebral discs resists compression and absorbs shock in joints

Question 36

compact bone location and function

Answer 36

skeleton physical support of body

Question 37

blood location and function

Answer 37

heart and blood vessels transports gases and nutrients

Question 38

nervous tissue location and function

Answer 38

brain, spinal cord, nerves internal communication

Question 39

skeletal muscle location and function

Answer 39

skeletal muscles; mostly attached to bone body movemebts

Question 40

cardiac muscle location and function

Answer 40

heart pumping blood

Question 41

smooth muscle location and function

Answer 41

sheets of tissue in walls of blood vessels and digestive tract swallowing; control of blood pressure and flow
