Histology

Epithelial Tissue

100

Define "simple" and "stratified".

Simple = one layer of cells, stratified = more than one layer of cells

200

Which category of epithelial tissue is flat, plate-like and responsible for diffusion and filtration?

Squamous Epithelial

300

Give two locations in the body cuboidal epithelial tissue would be located.

Ovaries, skin, glands

400

Explain why pseudostratified columnar is named as such.

Pseudostratified = appearing to be more than one layer while realistically only being a single layer of cells.

500

Explain the function of cilia found in columnar epithelial tissue.

Cilia are vibrating projections that capture and remove particles entering respiratory/digestive tract.

Fibrous Connective Tissue

100

What kind of connective tissue serves as insulation, protection for internal organs, and a nutrient reserve for the body?

Adipose tissue

200

What kind of connective tissue composes the tendons, ligaments, and dermis?

Dense Fibrous Tissue (DFT)

300

What is the function of reticular connective tissue?

Filter substances out of blood and lymphatic fluid

400

What kind of connective tissue binds to skin and underlying skin, fills in the space between muscles, and lays beneath a layer of epithelial tissue?

Areolar tissue

500

(Tendons/Ligaments) connect bone to bone, while (tendons/ligaments) connect muscle to bone.

Ligament = bone to bone, tendon = muscle to bone

Non-fibrous Connective Tissue

100

Which category of connective tissue is composed of erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes (platelets) and plasma?

Blood

200

What kind of connective tissue is responsible for producing blood cells?

Osseous (bone) tissue

300

What is the purpose of canaliculi found in osseous tissue?

Small channels that allow blood vessels to run through the bones.

400

What kind of connective tissue is responsible for ensuring the entire body receives the oxygen it needs?

Blood

500

Describe hyaline, fibro, and elastic cartilage.

Hyaline: Translucent cartilage found where bones meet (joints); Fibro: most durable, shock absorber; Elastic: Flexible cartilage making up the external ear and voice box

Muscle/Nervous Tissue

100

What are the cells called that make up nervous tissue?

Neurons

200

Which type of muscle tissue is voluntary, attached to bones by tendons, and serves the main function of movement?

Skeletal

300

Thinking of the location smooth muscle is found, why is this type of tissue involuntary?

Smooth muscle relaxes and contracts to push materials through hollow organs (i.e. digestive tract)

400

What structures within cardiac muscle tissue are found between cells and are responsible for conducting electrical currents?

Intercalated disks

500

What are the two main parts of a neuron?

Soma (Body) and Axon

Location Identification

100

This tissue type can be located within the epidermis.

Squamous Epithelial (simple or stratified acceptable)

200

This tissue type composes the tendons, ligaments, and dermis.

Dense Fibrous Tissue

300

This tissue type can be found around internal organs and within the hypodermis.

Adipose

400

This tissue type can be found in the walls of hollow organs.

Smooth Muscle

500

This tissue type makes up the framework of the spleen and lymph nodes.

Reticular Connective
