tissues

QuestionAnswer
what are the four basic types of body tissues epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous
what characteristics is used to name tissue types organization of cells
The type of intercellular junction that functions as a rivet or "spot weld" desmosome
type of intercellular junction that forms tubular channels gap junction
type of intercellular junction that consists of fused membranes tight junction
tissue through which gases are exchanged between the blood and the air in the lungs Simple Squamous Epithelium
Epithelial tissue functions in secretion, absorption, and protection
A Basement membrane anchors epithelial to connective tissue
type of epithelium that lines the urinary bladder and many of the urinary passageways transitional
A carcinoma is a cancer originating from epithelium
type of tissue lines the follicles of the thyroid glands Simple cuboidal epithelium
The type of epithelium that secretes into ducts that open onto surfaces like skin or into body fluids Grandular Epithelium
branches repeatedly before reaching the glandular cells or secretory part compound gland
_______ tissue contains collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and gel-like ground substance Areolar
Tendons and ligaments are composed primarily of dense regular connective tissue
Bone cells form concentric circles around longitudinal tubes called central canals
What is a cellular fragment blood platelets
produce connective tissue fibers fiberblast
Adipose tissue is a form of connective tissue
Extracellular matrix consists of ground substance and protein fibers
Epithelial membranes are typically composed of epithelium and underlying connective tissue
____ membrane has tubes and cavities that open to the outside of the body mucous
Cutaneous membrane refers to skin
Involuntary muscles are smooth and cardiac
Muscle cells with more than one nucleus skeletal only
Muscle tissue that can be consciously controlled is skeletal
Smooth muscle is found in the wall of the stomach and intestine
type of muscle tissue in blood vessels is smooth muscle
_____ fuction to support and bind nervous tissue and provide nutrients and growth factors to neurons by connecting them to blood vessels neuroglia
Mutations usually disrupt collagen's function because collagen has a very precise structure
Which of the following is not true about the extracellular matrix? it is the same in all tissues
The antihistamine Benadryl has a sedative effect, but the antihistamine Zyrtec does not, because Benadryl crosses the blood-brain barrier but Zyrtec does not.
Bone tissue contains abundant collagen
The differences among merocrine, apocrine, and holocrine secretions are the amount of cytoplasm secreted along with the glandular product.
Cartilage heals slowly because chondrocytes do not have direct blood supplies
The blood brain barrier (BBB) consists of tight junctions between endothelial cells that form the capillary walls.
elastic connective tissue forms elastic fibers
what are the general characteristics of connective tissues? common origin of connective tissue from mesenchyme, varied degrees of vasculacity and a large amount of extracellular matrix that varies with tissue type all characterize.
About 90% of all cancers originate from epithelium
Embryonic stem cells growing in a lab dish are bathed in a "cocktail" of chemicals that cause them to specialize into branching networks of single-nucleated cells that pulsate in unison. This tissue is most likely cardiac muscle
An engineered tissue might include A.stem cells. B. progenitor cells. C.a scaffold built of synthetic materials D.extracellular matrix components
The basis of using proteomics to describe tissues is that Different cell types produce different sets of mRNAs
Which of the following is not a characteristic of nervous tissue? Its intercellular space is filled with collagen.
Cardiac muscle is found in the wall of the A.stomach.B.intestine.C.urinary bladder.D.eyeball. *E.none of the above
There are __ types of muscle cells. 3
A serous membrane consists of a layer of simple squamous epithelium and a thin layer of loose connective tissue.
A ______ gland does not branch before reaching the glandular cells or secretory part. simple
The tissue that forms the inner lining of the respiratory passages is mucus-secreting, ciliated, and pseudostratified.
intercellular junctions connect cell membranes
