Epithelial Tissue
TRUE or FALSE: Simple squamous is an example of epithelial tissue.
True
This cell, found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, helps the body send signals.
What are neurons?
The three types of muscle tissues found in our body are __________, ___________, and ___________.
What are skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle?
This is the connective tissue structure that supports the body, protects vital parts in cranial & thoracic cavities, serves as an attachment for muscles, and contains red marrow important for forming red blood cells.
What is bone?
Which of the following is not a type of connective tissue? a. Adipose b. Blood c. Bone d. Skin
What is skin?
Are epithelial cells typically closely or loosely packed?
What is closely packed?
Which of the following names the part of the neuron that contains the nucleus? a. Cell body b. Dendrite c. Axon d. None of the above e. Nuclei are present in a,b and c
What is A - Cell body?
Muscle is primarily responsible for ___________ in our bodies.
What is movement?
The shiny white substance at the ends of bones, helps reduce friction.
What is cartilage?
This type of tissue is the most abundant major tissue in your body.
What is connective tissue?
When talking about epithelial tissue ____________ refers to tissues that have many layers, where as ________________ refers to tissues that are just a single layer
What is stratified; simple.
This protective coating helps the neuron send signals. Damage to it is normally called "MS."
What is the myelin sheath?
This type of muscle is responsible for the involuntary movements of the body's internal organs.
What is smooth muscle?
The loose connective tissue that is found between the skin and muscle.
What is the fascia?
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."
Which of the following is the function of the epithelial tissue? a. Supports body parts b. Covers body parts c. Binds body parts together d. Forms the framework of organs e. All of the above
What is b - covers body parts?
Chemical signals are the neurotransmitters released by the neuron. The neuron can also communicate by sending this type of signal.
What are electrical signals?
This type of tissue is voluntarily controlled.
What is skeletal muscle?
This types of connective tissue connects bone to bone. For an extra 100 points also include an example found within the human body (hint: think about the knee).
What is a ligament? Examples could be ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL among others.
Both of these tissues offer protection, although in different ways, for the human body.
What are Connective and Epithelial tissues
This type of tissue is found in our breathing tubes. The cells also have cilia on the ends.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
This part of the neuron receives the electrical signal and releases neurotransmitters to the next neuron.
What is the axon terminal?
This type of muscle is striated and branched.
What is cardiac muscle?
This type of connective tissue has a liquid extracellular matrix. We can find it everywhere!
What is blood?
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
