100
Define tissue.
Groups of cells with a similar function and structure.
100
How is the Epithelium classified?
Structure.
100
What is the function of the muscle tissues?
To produce movement.
100
What are the primary functions of the connective tissues?
protecting, supporting and binding together.
100
What cells make up nervous tissues?
neurons.
200
What are the four basic types of tissues in the human body?
Epithelial, Muscle, Connective and Nervous.

Describe the purpose of Stratified transitional epithelium 

stretch readily in order to accommodate fluctuation of volume of the liquid in an organ

200

What is the major function of nervous tissue

rapid communication

300
Which tissue can be classified as voluntary or involuntary?
Muscle tissue.
300
If the epithelium was simple squamous, what does this imply about the shape of the cells in the tissue?
They are flat.
300
Name the three types of muscle.
Skeletal, Cardiac and Smooth muscle.
300

SPECIAL BLOCK: Worth 2 times the amount of points. Get it right, you get 600 points. Get it wrong, you're down 600. 

Describe the difference between axons and neurons

  • Axon: Longer, carries nerve impulses from the cell body to other neurons, and can be myelinated.

  • Dendrite: Receives nerve impulses from other neurons and delivers signals to the cell body. One neuron can have many dendrites.

400
Which tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed?
Connective.
400
Which epithelium creates a sort of lubricating mucus?
Simple columnar
400

Which of the muscles is controlled voluntarily?

Skeletal muscle.

400
What is the function of the Areolar tissue?
"Glue". If helps to hold the internal organs together and in their proper positions.
500
Define hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
hypertonic: excessive or above normal tone or tension. hypotonic: below normal tone or tension. isotonic: having a uniform tension.
