1
New cards

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

epithelial

2
New cards

The matrix of connective tissue contains both cells and:

ground substance

3
New cards

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

body movements

4
New cards

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

signals

5
New cards

The cells in epithelial tissue divide the process of:

mitosis

6
New cards

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

basement membrane

7
New cards

Those junctions formed by fusions of the cell membranes of adjacent cells in with interlocking membrane proteins are:

tight junctions

8
New cards

Tubular passageways between adjacent cells that allow movement of ions and small molecules from one to another cared called:

gap junctions

9
New cards

A submicroscopic space separates opposing cell membranes, and transmembrane glycoproteins bind these cells together in junctions known as:

desmosomes

10
New cards

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

glandular epithelium

11
New cards

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

simple epithelium

12
New cards

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

stretching

13
New cards

Both endothelium and mesothelium are types of:

simple squamos

14
New cards

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

simple columnar

15
New cards

The epidermis of the skin consists of epithelium known as

keratinized stratified squamos

16
New cards

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

protection

17
New cards

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

transitional

18
New cards

Those glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream are:

endocrine glands

19
New cards

The exocrine glands secret their products into:

ducts

20
New cards

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

one cell (unicellular)

21
New cards

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

sweat glands

22
New cards

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

mucus

23
New cards

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

enzymes

24
New cards

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

merocrine glands

25
New cards

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

holocrine glands

26
New cards

Those glands with branched ducts are:

compound glands

27
New cards

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

connective tissue

28
New cards

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

lamina propia

29
New cards

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

serous membranes

30
New cards

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

matrix

31
New cards

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

fibroblasts

32
New cards

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

phagocytosis

33
New cards

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

reticular cells

34
New cards

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

tendons

35
New cards

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

muscles

36
New cards

All of the following are functions of nervous EXPECT:

providing support for the body

37
New cards

The major portions of many human glands are composed of

epithelial tissues

38
New cards

This type of tissues is found widespread throughout the body

connective tissue

39
New cards

The following systems are line with epithelial tissue expect

the endocrine system

40
New cards

One of the important functions of epithelial tissue is to

absorb gases or nutrients

41
New cards

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

epidermis of the skin

42
New cards

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

endocrine glands

43
New cards

Serous can be distinguished from the mucus because serous:

is more watery

44
New cards

All the following are layers of mucous membranes EXPECT:

cartilage

45
New cards

Macrophages, mast cells. and lymphocytes may all be located in

loose connective tissues

46
New cards

it is the location where carbs are synthesized

47
New cards
