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
Those junctions formed by fusions of the cell membranes of adjacent cells in with interlocking membrane proteins are:
tight junctions
Tubular passageways between adjacent cells that allow movement of ions and small molecules from one to another cared called:
gap junctions
A submicroscopic space separates opposing cell membranes, and transmembrane glycoproteins bind these cells together in junctions known as:
desmosomes
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
All the following are layers of mucous membranes EXPECT:
cartilage
Macrophages, mast cells. and lymphocytes may all be located in
loose connective tissues
All the are functions of blood EXPECT:
it is the location where carbs are synthesized
The sensory neuron the of the body
receives impulses and transports them to the central nervous system
Epithelium that is found in the pigmented epithelium of the retina of the eye, the surface layer of the ovary, and parts of the testis:
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
