A tissue is
a membrane that lines body cavities
a group of similar cells that perform a common function
a thin sheet of cells embedded in a matrix
the most complex organizational unit of the body
The four principal types of tissues include all of the following except
nervous
muscle
cartilage
connective
The most complex tissue in the body is
blood
In tissues, the material between cells that is made up of water and a variety of proteins is referred to as
intercellular material
extracellular matrix
lacunae
none of the above
Which of the following is not a primary germ layer?
endoderm
periderm
mesoderm
ectoderm
Which tissue lines body cavities and protects body surfaces?
epithelial
muscular
The biology of tissues is referred to as histology.
Proteins in the extracellular matrix include various types of structural protein fibers such as collagen and elastin.
Sweat and sebaceous glands are formed by connective tissue.
During embryonic development, new kinds of cells can be formed from a special kind of undifferentiated cell called a stem cell.
is the growth of new tissue as opposed to scarring.
A is an unusually think scar.
Tissues usually repair themselves by allowing cells to remove dead or injured cells.
Epithelial and tissues have the greatest capacity to regenerate.
Like muscle tissue, tissue has a very limited capacity to regenerate.
Which of the following is not an example of epithelial membrane?
synovial membrane
cutaneous membrane
serous membrane
mucous membrane
Pleurisy is a condition that affects which membrane?
Parietal membranes cover the surface of organs.
Synovial membrane is an example of connective tissue membrane.
Benign tumors usually grow slowly quickly( slowly, quickly ) or quickly
Malignant tumors are not are( are not, are ) encapsulated.
An example of a benign tumor that arises from epithelial tissue is papilloma lipoma( papilloma, lipoma ).

Dense fibrous connective tissue
Lubricates cavities open to the outside environment
Skin
Lines joint cavities
Thermoregulation
Peritoneum
Digestive tract
Respiratory tract
The three primary germ layers are , , and .
The biology of tissues is .
Tissue cells are surrounded by or embedded in extracellular material called .
An atypical thick scar that may develop in the lower layer of skin is a .
tissue is often replaced, when damaged, with fibrous connective tissue instead of the original tissue.
is the growth of functional new tissue.
