The big four
Name the four tissue types in the body.
epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
Which type of tissue is specialized to contract and produce movement?
Muscle tissue
What are the three classifications of epithelial tissue based on its shape?
Squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Tendons and ligaments are made up of this strong type of connective tissue.
Dense regular
Which type of tissue is responsible for moving the skeleton?
Skeletal muscle tissue
This type of tissue is the most abundant major tissue in your body.
Connective
This type of connective tissue provides flexible structure for various parts of the body, including your nose and ears.
Cartilage
In the regions of the body where diffusion occurs, would you find simple or stratified epithelium?
Simple
This type of connective tissue acts as a cushion and for long-term energy storage.
Adipose
What is the function of nervous tissue?
To send and receive messages.
What is wrong with the following statement: "Tissues are a group of cells working together to perform different functions."
It should read "Tissues are a group of cells working together to perform common functions."
Why does bone tissue heal so fast?
very vascular
What anatomical feature would you find on the surface of cells in the trachea?
cilia
List the three basic components of all connective tissues.
Cells, fibers, matrix
There are three types of muscle tissue, what are the names of these three.
smooth, cardiac, skeletal
This main type of tissue makes up body coverings and linings inside of the body.
Epithelial tissue
This type of tissue is between your skin and muscles, allowing them to move independently of each other
Areolar
What makes transitional epithelium unique?
It tolerates stretching from changes in volume, e.g. in an empty bladder the stratified cells appear cuboidal, and in a full bladder the cells appear flattened, more like stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of cartilage is found on bones that meet to form a joint?
Hyaline
This type of muscle is responsible for the involuntary movements of the body's internal organs.
Smooth muscle tissue
Chemotherapy destroys cells in mitosis. Using what you know about mitosis and about the four types of tissue, what tissue type would be the most affected by chemotherapy? a. Connective b. Epithelial c. Nervous d. Muscle
Epithelial
Name one type of connective tissue that lacks a direct blood supply, making it very slow to heal.
Cartilage
Why are pseudostratified epithelial cells given that name?
The cells appear to be stratified, but each cell is actually connected to the basement membrane.
List the 5 types of connective tissue
Dense, loose, bone, blood, cartilage
Which type of muscle tissue is multinucleated?
Skeletal muscle
