Question | Answer |
---|---|
This type of cell junction anchors adjacent cells and resists their separation during contractile activities. | Adherens and desmosome |
These tissue cells are found lining the chambers of the heart and the lumen of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. | Simple squamous epithelium |
What fibers is found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue? | Reticular fibers, Elastic fibers, and Collagen fibers |
This type of connective tissue expands and recoils, and is important in the functioning of the lungs and large arteries. | Elastic |
This type of cartilage is the most abundant type in the body. | Hyaline cartilage |
This type of connective tissue supports soft tissues, protects delicate structures, works with skeletal muscles to generate movement, and stores calcium and phosphorus. | Bone |
The extracellular matrix in blood tissue is the: | Plasma |
This type of membrane lines a body cavity that does NOT open directly to the outside. | Serous |
This type of tissue has elongated cells, called fibers, which generate force by contracting. | Muscle |
3 main tissue types found in the human body? | Connective, Muscle, Epithelial |
This tissue is used as a covering, It lines the inside of body cavities, vessels, and tract, It has a free surface | epithelial tissue |
This type of cell junction consists of tunnels through which ions and small molecules can diffuse from the cytosol of one cell to another. | Gap junction |
This is a thin extracellular layer of basal lamina and reticular lamina, found between epithelial and connective tissues. | Basement membrane |
This tissue lines the serous membranes of the body cavities, where it is called mesothelium. | Simple squamous epithelial |
The lining of most of the respiratory tract is made up of this tissue. | Ciliated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium |
Which type of exocrine gland releases it product in secretory vesicles via exocytosis? | Merocrine |
Which of the following connective tissue cell type is present in nearly all connective tissue and usually the most abundant cell type? | Fibroblasts |
This epithelium lines the inner wall of the urinary bladder. | Transitional epithelium |
Common polysaccharides found in ground substance include | Hyaluronic acid |
Extracellular fibers in connective tissue that are very strong and resist pulling forces are: | Collagen fibers |
Where is the most common location for adipose tissue? | Subcutaneous layer deep to skin |
The main function of dense regular connective tissues is: | Strong attachment between structures like bones |
The most widely distributed tissue in the body is: | Connective tissue |
Which connective tissue cell stores fat? | Adipocyte |
The lining of the intestinal tract, including the absorptive cells, is made up of this tissue. | Simple columnar epithelial |
Which of the following is classified as loose connective tissue? | Areolar connective tissue |
Besides storing fat, a role of adipose tissue is: | To act as an insulator and reduce heat loss through the skin |
This type of connective tissue has no blood supply and so heals poorly following an injury. | Cartilage |
This type of cartilage is the strongest and found in the intervertebral discs between vertebrae of the spine, | Fibrocartilage |
Liquid connective tissue includes: | Blood and lymph |
List 3 parts of the epithelial membrane in the human body? | Mucous membrane, Serous membrane, and Cutaneous membrane |
This type of membrane lines the cavity of the freely moveable joints of the skeletal system. | Synovial |
The primary cell type in this tissue responds to various stimuli by generating action potentials | Nervous |
These are immature, undifferentiated cells that can divide to replace lost or damaged cells. | Stem cells |
Where are mucous membranes found | In the body cavities that open to the body's exterior |
Blood, reticular, cartilage, adipose are all types of what | Connective tissue |
Except for cartilage, tendons, and ligaments connective tissue has a rich blood supply. What is this describing? | Connective tissue |
fat storage | Adipose |
type of cell that waterproofs the skin | Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium |
Forms the stroma (framework) of many organs | Reticular connective |
Composes the intervertebral discs | Fibrocartilage |
Stores red bone marrow, protects, supports | Bone |
Non-striated involuntary | Smooth muscle |
Found in lungs, involved in diffusion | Simple squamous epithelium |
Found in kidney tubules, involved in absorption | Simple cuboidal epithelium |
Where would you find smooth muscle tissue | In the walls of hollow organs |
