endocrine
|
|
The three components that can be used to classify connective tissue are ______, ______, & ______.
|
cells,
ground substance, fibers |
|
Connective tissue fibers that are arranged in bundles & lend strength & flexibility to a tissue are collagen fibers. (T/F)
|
true
|
|
Due to its ample blood supply, damaged cartilage is quickly repaired. (T/F)
|
false
|
|
The tissue type that can detect changes in the internal & external environments & respond to the changes is?
a. nervous tissue b. muscle tissue c. connective tissue d. epithelial tissue |
a. nervous tissue
|
|
Which statements are true of epithelium?
1. Cells are arranged in continuous single- and multiple-layer sheets 2. Attachment between the basal layer & the connective tissue is called the basement membrane 3. Tissue has an extensive blood supply 4. Tissue has a high rate of cell division 5. Tissue functions in protection, secretion, absorption, & excretion |
1, 2, 3, & 4
|
|
The type of exocrine gland that forms its secretory product & simply releases it from the cell by exocytosis is the?
a. apocrine gland b. merocrine gland c. holocrine gland d. endocrine gland e. apical gland |
b. merocrine gland
|
|
The connective tissue cells responsible for secreting fibers & ground substances are?
a. macrophages b. mast cells c. fibroblasts d. adipocytes e. plasma cells |
c. fibroblasts
|
|
The membrane lining a body cavity that opens directly to the exterior is a?
a. serous membrane b. mucous membrane c. synovial membrane d. plasma membrane e. basement membrane |
b. mucous membrane
|
|
The muscle tissue that forms the bulk of the wall of the heart is?
a. skeletal muscle b. smooth muscle c. involuntary, non-striated muscle d. cardiac muscle e. striated, voluntary muscle |
d. cardiac muscle
|
|
Contains a single layer of flat cells; found in the body where filtration (kidney) or diffusion (lungs) are priority processes
|
simple squamous epithelium
|
|
Found in the superficial part of skin; provides protection from heat, microbes, & chemicals.
|
keratinized stratified
squamous epithelium |
|
Contains cube-shaped cells; found in the kidney that function in secretion & absorption
|
simple cuboidal
epithelium |
|
Lines the upper respiratory tract & uterine tubes; wave like motion of cilia propel material through the lumen
|
ciliated simple columnar
|
|
Found in the urinary bladder; contains cells that can change shape (stretch or relax).
|
transitional epithelium
|
|
Contains cells with microvilli & goblet cells; found in linings of the digestive, reproductive, & urinary tracts.
|
nonciliated simple
columnar epithelium |
|
Contains cells that are all attached to the basement membrane, although some do not reach the surface; those cells that do extend to the surface secrete mucus or bear cilia at the apical surface.
|
Pseudostratified ciliated
columnar epithelium |
|
A fairly rare type of epithelium that has a mainly protective function.
|
stratified cuboidal
epithelium |
|
The tissue from which all other connective tissues eventually arise?
|
mesenchyme
|
|
Connective tissue with a clear liquid matrix that flows in lymphatic vessels.
|
lymph
|
|
Connective tissue consisting of several kinds of cells, containing all three fiber types randomly arranged, & found in the subcutaneous layer of the skin.
|
areolar connective tissue
|
|
A loose connective tissue specialized for triglyceride storage
|
adipose tissue
|
|
Tissue that contains reticular fibers & reticular cells & forms the stroma of certain organs such as the spleen
|
reticular connective
tissue |
|
Tissue with irregularly arranged collagen fibers found in the dermis of the skin
|
dense irregular
connective tissue |
|
Tissue found in the lungs that is strong & can recoil back to its original shape after being stretched
|
elastic connective tissue
|
|
Tissue that affords flexibility at the joints & reduces joint friction.
|
hyaline cartilage
|
|
Tissue that provides strength & rigidity & is the strongest of the three types of cartilage
|
fibrocartilage
|
|
Bundles of collagen arranged in parallel patterns; compose tendons & ligaments
|
dense regular
connective tissue |
|
Tissue that forms the internal framework of the body & works with skeletal muscle to generate movement.
|
bone
osseous tissue |
|
Connective tissue with formed elements suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma
|
blood
|
|
Prevents organ contents from leaking into the blood or surrounding tissue
|
tight junction
|
|
Forms adhesion belts that help epithelial surfaces resist separation
|
adherans junction
|
|
Makes tissue stable by linking the cytoskeletons of cells together
|
desmosome
|
|
Anchors cells to basement membrane
|
hemidesmosome
|
|
Allows epithelial cells in a tissue to communicate; enables nerve or muscle impulses to spread rapidly between cells.
|
gap junction
|
|
Results of repair of extensive tissue damage by both fibroblasts & parenchymal cells; provides a supporting framework for new tissue
|
granulation tissue
|
|
Near perfect repair of damaged tissue by parenchymal cells
|
tissue regeneration
|
|
Replacement of damaged tissue by collagen fibers & other matrix materials, forming scar tissue.
|
fibrosis
|
