Study Guide: Tissue Types

Which of the following is not a function of membranous epithelium?

Which of the following is not a structural example of epithelium?

The simple columnar epithelium lining the intestines contains plasma membranes that extend into thousands of microscopic extensions called

Epithelial cells can be classified according to shape. Which of the following is not a characteristic shape of epithelium?

Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in the

Endocrine glands discharge their products into

Which of the following is not a functional classification of exocrine glands?

The functional classification of salivary glands is

This epithelial tissue readily allows diffusion, as in the linings of blood and lymphatic vessels

Epithelial tissue is attached to an underlying layer of connective tissue called the basement membrane.

Epithelium is rich with blood supply.

Exocrine glands discharge their products directly into the blood.

[blank_start]Simple cuboidal[blank_end]: single layer of cube-shaped cells [blank_start]Stratified squamous[blank_end]: multiple layers of cells with flat cells at the outer surface [blank_start]Pseudostratified columnar[blank_end]: single layer of cells in which some are tall and thin and able to reach the free surface and others are not [blank_start]Transitional[blank_end]: layers of cells that appear cube like when an organ is relaxed and flat or distended by fluid, such as the walls of the urinary bladder. This tissue is typically found in the body areas subjected to stress and tension changes [blank_start]Simple squamous[blank_end]: single layer of flat, scalelike cells [blank_start]Simple columnar[blank_end]: single layer of tall, thin cells that compose the surface of mucous membranes

Which of the following is not an example of connective tissue?

Which of the following fibers is not found in connective tissue matrix?

Fibroblasts are usually present in the greatest numbers in which type of connective tissue?

Adipose tissue performs which of the following functions?

Which of the following connective tissue types forms the framework of the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow?

The mature cells of bone are called

The basic structural unit of bone is the microscope

Mature bone grows and is reshaped by the simultaneous activity of which two cells?

The most prevalent type of cartilage is

When mast cells encounter an allergen, they release the chemical

The most prevalent types of cells in areolar connective tissue are fibroblasts and macrophages.

The terms osteon and Haversian system are synonymous

The long bones of the body are formed through the process of intramembranous ossification

Cartilage is perhaps the most vascular tissue in the human body.

Ligaments attach bone to bone

Bone-forming cells are osteoclasts

[blank_start]Skeletal[blank_end] muscle: cylindrical, striated, voluntary cells

[blank_start]Smooth[blank_end] muscle: nonstriated, involuntary, narrow fibers with only one nucleus per fiber

[blank_start]Cardiac[blank_end] muscle: striated, branching, involuntary cells with intercalated disks

[blank_start]Skeletal[blank_end] muscle: responsible for willed body movements

[blank_start]Smooth[blank_end] muscle: also called visceral muscle

[blank_start]Smooth[blank_end] muscle: found in the walls of hollow internal organs

[blank_start]Soma[blank_end]: the cell body of the neuron [blank_start]Neuroglia[blank_end]: supportive cells [blank_start]Axon[blank_end]: cell process that transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body [blank_start]Neuron[blank_end]: the conducting cells of the nervous system [blank_start]Dendrite[blank_end]: cell process that carries nerve impulses toward the cell body

Which of the following is not an example of connective tissue?

Stratified squamous (nonkeratinized) epithelium can be found in all of the following except:

The most abundant and widespread tissue is

Loose connective tissue is also known as

Tissue that insulates to conserve body heat is

What statement regarding blood is true?

[blank_start]Matrix[blank_end]: extracellular substance of tissue cells [blank_start]Membranous[blank_end]: type of epithelial tissue [blank_start]Squamous[blank_end]: cell shape [blank_start]Sebaceous[blank_end]: type of holocrine gland [blank_start]Adipocytes[blank_end]: fat cell [blank_start]Erythrocytes[blank_end]: red blood cells
