epithelial and glands test prep

The tissue that covers the body surfaces, lines its cavities and forms the major portions of glands is called:

epithelial

The matrix of connective tissue contains both cells and:

ground substance

The major function of muscle tissue in the body is to permit:

body movements

The cells of the nervous system are specially to receive and relay:

signals

The cells in epithelial tissue divide the process of:

mitosis

Epithelial tissue is anchored to the underlying connective tissue by an:

basement membrane

Epithelial cells that produce products such as enzymes, sweat, and hormones are known as:

glandular epithelium

Epithelial tissue occurring in sheets having a single layer is known as:

simple epithelium

In transitional epithelium, the cells change shape in response to:

stretching

Both endothelium and mesothelium are types of:

simple squamos

Epithelium consisting of a single layer of tall cells with nuclei close the base of the cells is described as:

simple columnar

The epidermis of the skin consists of epithelium known as

keratinized stratified squamos

The primary function of stratified squamous epithelium in the human body is:

protection

The uterter and urinary bladder contain up to 6 or 7 layers of epithelial tissue known as:

transitional

Those glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream are:

endocrine glands

The exocrine glands secret their products into:

ducts

A goblet cell is a type of exocrine gland composed of:

one cell (unicellular)

Multicellular glands are typified by the salivary glands, mammary glands, pancreatic glands, and:

sweat glands

The slimy, viscous material produced by goblet cells of the digestive tract and cells of the respiratory tract is known as:

mucus

A serous-secreting gland produces watery material that often contains:

enzymes

Those glands that release their products through the cell membranes through the process of exocytosis are known as:

merocrine glands

When a cell breaks open to release its secretions, the secretions are derived form glands known as:

holocrine glands

Those glands with branched ducts are:

compound glands

At various places in the body, membranes are formed by a sheet of epithelium and its underlying:

connective tissue

In a mucous membrane, the connective tissue that supports the epithelium and contains blood vessels is:

lamina propia

The pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum are examples of membranes referred to as:

serous membranes

Four different types of connective tissue are established based on the characteristics of ground substance and the:

matrix

The protein fibers of loose connective tissue are synthesized by cells known as:

fibroblasts

In loose connective tissue, macrophages engulf and destroy foreign agents in the process of:

phagocytosis

The thin, delicate collagen fibers that support capillaries, nerve, and muscle fibers, in loose connective tissue are called:

reticular cells

Dense regular connective tissues contain parallel bundles of collagen fibers and are found in ligaments and:

tendons

Dense irregular connective tissues consist of collagen fibers arranged in random bundles and are found as a covering for cartilage, bone, and:

muscles

All of the following are functions of nervous EXPECT:

providing support for the body

The major portions of many human glands are composed of

epithelial tissues

This type of tissues is found widespread throughout the body

connective tissue

The following systems are line with epithelial tissue expect

the endocrine system

One of the important functions of epithelial tissue is to

absorb gases or nutrients

One of the principal locations of stratified squamous epithelium in the body is the

epidermis of the skin

The salivary glands, mammary glands, and sweat glands are collectively referred to as

endocrine glands

Serous can be distinguished from the mucus because serous:

is more watery

simple cuboidal

The slimy, viscous material known as mucus is composed primarily of proteins and:

polysaccharides

The ________ glands produce both mucus and enzymes within a serous fluid and are therefore known as seromucous glands

salivary
