tissue types and function

Question 1

• Allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important
• Located in the lining of the heart, blood and lymphatic vessels

Answer 1

simple squamous epithelial

Question 2

• Secretion and absorption
• Kidney tubules, ducts, and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface

Answer 2

simple cuboidal epithelial

Question 3

• Absorption; Secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type of propels mucus ( or reproductive cells) by ciliary action
• Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus, colon

Answer 3

simple columnal epithelial

Question 4

• Secretes substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
• Noncilliated in male’s sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea

Answer 4

pseudostratified columnar epithelial

Question 5

• Thick membrane with several cell layers. Protects underlying tissues from abrasion and damage.
• Nonkeratinized form = moist linings of esophagus, mouth, and vagine
• Keratinized forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.

Answer 5

stratified squamous epithelial

Question 6

• Protection
• Largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands and salivary glands, kidney

Answer 6

stratified cuboidal epithelial

Question 7

• Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine
• Lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra

Answer 7

transitional

Question 8

• Protection and secretion
• Rare throughout the body, small amounts in the male urethra and in large ducts of some glands

Answer 8

stratified columnar

Question 9

• loose connective
• Provides reserve fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs

Answer 9

Adipose

Question 10

• loose connective
• Wraps and cushions organs. Its macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays an important role in inflammation

Answer 10

areolar

Question 11

• loose connective
• Fibers form a soft internal environment that supports other cell types

Answer 11

reticular

Question 12

• dense connective
• Attaches muscles to bones, or to muscles, or bones to bones
• withstands great tensile stress when the pulling force is applied in one direction
• Located in the tendons,

Answer 12

dense regular

Question 13

• dense connective
• withstand great tensile stress that is exerted in many different directions
• some structural strength
• Found in the dermis of the skin,

Answer 13

dense irregular

Question 14

• dense connective
• Allows recoil of tissue and stretching; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries
• Found in walls of large arteries

Answer 14

elastic

Question 15

supports and protects ( by enclosing); provides levers for th muscles to act on

Answer 15

bone

Question 16

• Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes

Answer 16

blood

Question 17

• cartilage
• Supports and reinforces. It serves as a resilient cushion as well as resisting compressive stress
• Found in the embryonic skeleton

Answer 17

hyaline

Question 18

• cartilage
• Maintains shape of the structure while still retaining its flexibility
• ear

Answer 18

elastic

Question 19

-cartilage
-Tensile strength with the ability to absorb comprese shock
- Discs of knee joint

Answer 19

fibrocartilage

Question 20

• Helps sends motor commands from the brain to the body and sensory information from the body back to the brain
• Connects from the brain to the lower back. Is part of the CNS

Answer 20

spinal cord

Question 21

• Enable neurons to connect with one another
• The central nervous system or within the ganglia of the peripheral nervous system

Answer 21

nerve fibers

Question 22

• Carry electrical impulses between your brain and the rest of your body
• peripheral nervous system

Answer 22

nerves

Question 23

• Propels substances ( foodstuffs, urine) or a baby along internal passageways; involuntary control
• walls of hollow organs

Answer 23

smooth

Question 24

• As it contracts, cardiac muscle propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control

Answer 24

cardiac

Question 25

- Voluntary movement; locomotion; manipulation of the environment; voluntary control

Answer 25

skeletal
