Cells that provide structure or support for parenchymal cells | Stromal cells |
Cells that provide the actual function of the tissue | Parenchymal cells |
Cells that undergo mitosis regularly and quickly | Labile cells |
Cells that do not regularly undergo mitosis but are able to if the need arises | Stable cells |
Cells that cannot undergo mitosis | Permanent cells |
If the surface cells of stratified squamous epithelial tissue are alive, the tissue is ______________. | Moist |
If the number of layers of cells in stratified epithelial tissue changes, which kind of epithelial tissue is it? | Stratified transitional epithelium |
The secretions of an exocrine gland are examined, and it is determined that there is cytoplasm in the secretions. This narrows the type down to these two: | Apocrine or holocrine |
Which connective tissue proper's function is similar to duct tape? | Dense irregular connective tissue |
Which connective tissue proper's function is similar to masking tape? | Loose connective tissue |

Which connective tissue proper's function is similar to the string on a kite? | Dense regular connective tissue |
If you are looking under the microscope and are having a hard time distinguishing between cartilage and connective tissue proper, what one thing could you find to positively identify the tissue as cartilage? | Look for cells residing in small pockets (lacuna). |
What kind of membrane would you find lining the surface of the heart? | Serous membrane |
Which kind of membrane would you find lining the elbow joint | Synovial membrane |
Which kind of membrane would you find lining the colon, which leads to the anus | Mucous membrane |
Suppose a structure in the body is injured but, after a long time, it heals so that it is 100% functional again. What types of cells does it have? | Stable |
Four basic types of tissue | Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue |
These determine the distance from the free surface to the basal surface in epithelial tissue. | The height of the cells and the number of layers of cells. |
The glue that the epithelial cells secrete to attach the basal surface to the tissue below | Basement membrane |
Is the basement membrane ___________________, so the cells must get oxygen and nutrients through diffusion. | Avascular |
