chapter 4 review questions

This tissue type is the most diverse and abundant type of tissue.

Connective

Blood is an example of this type of tissue.

Connective

Cells lining the digestive tube are of this type.

Epithelial

The simple squamous epithelium lining the inner surface of blood vessels is called ________.

endothelium

The external ear (pinna) is composed of this type of cartilage.

elastic cartilage

This is the sheet of tissue between the epithelium and the connective tissue below it.

basal lamina (the basement membrane includes both the basal lamina and the reticular fibers below it)

Pseudostratified columnar is of this tissue type.

epithelial

This tissue type consists of cells containing myofilaments.

Muscle

This tissue type consists of an extracellular matrix that holds tissue fluid.

Connective

In bony tissues, chondrocytes are found in the lacunae.

False

The loose connective tissue (areolar) forms the lamina propria of mucous membranes.

True

In blood, the matrix is the liquid blood plasma

True

Skeletal muscle is characterized by obvious striations (seen microscopically) and multinucleate cells.

True

Which of the following is not associated with connective tissue?

A) areolar

B) collagen

C) goblet cells

D) chondrocytes

C

An epithelium in which the basal layer of cells is cuboidal and the apical layer of cells is columnar is a ________ epithelium.

A) stratified columnar

B) simple columnar

C) stratified cuboidal

D) simple cuboidal

A

In connective tissue proper, ground substance is manufactured and secreted by which type of cell?

A) fibroblast

B) endothelial cell

C) chondroblasts

D) osteocytes

A

How many major tissue types are found in the body and what are their names?

4; epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

Name the three types of muscle tissue.

Skeletal, cardiac, smooth

Name the type of tissue which covers surfaces of the body or forms glands.

Epithelial

Name and describe the two major types of glands.

Exocrine are glands with ducts, and endocrine are ductless.

Name and describe three types of membranes.

Mucous (mucosa), lines a cavity open to the outside world; Serous (serosae), lines a cavity that is not open to the outside world;

Others: cutaneous (skin), synovial (joint), periosteum (bone),  endosteum (bone)

 

Blood is which type of tissue?

Connective tissue

Adipose is which type of tissue?

Loose connective tissue proper

What is a tissue?

A group of cells that have a similar structure and function

 

How many major tissue types are found in the body and what are their names?

Epithelium, connective, muscle, & nervous

Name two types of cells that make up nervous tissue.

Neurons & Neuroglia

Name five different major types of connective tissue proper and three other major types of connective tissue.

C.T.P. = areolar, adipose, reticular, dense, elastic

Other C.Ts. = cartilage, bone, & blood

 

Describe the classification of epithelial tissues.

Epithelia may be simple (single layered) or stratified (in more than one layer).  The cells that form it may be flat and platelike (squamous), roughly square (cuboidal), or tall and slender (columnar).
