Muscle tissue has the ability to a) provide a framework for communication within the body b) carry impulses from one part of the body to another c) cover exposed surfaces of the body d) contract and produce active movement 3. Type of tissue that fills internal spaces, insulates, protects, binds, and provides structural support a) connective b) epithelial c) muscle d) neural 4. Neural tissue is specialized to a. contract and produce movement b. carry electrical impulses from one part of the body to another c provide structural support and fill internal spaces d line internal passageways and body cavities 5. The type of tissue that covers exposed surfaces and lines internal passageways and body cavities is a. muscle b. epithelial c. neural d. connective 6. The two types of layering recognized in epithelial tissues are a) cuboidal and columnar b) squamous and cuboidal c) columnar and stratified d) simple and stratified 7. A single layer of epithelial cells covering the basement membrane is termed a) simple epithelium b) stratified epithelium c) squamous epithelium d) cuboidal epithelium 8. Simple epithelial cells are characteristic of regions where a) mechanical or chemical stresses occur b) support and flexibility are necessary c) padding and elasticity are necessary d) secretion and absorption occur 9. From a surface view, cells that look like fried eggs laid side by side are a. squamous epithelium b. stratified epithelium c. cuboidal epithelium d. columnar epithelium 10. Stratified epithelium has several cell layers above the basement membrane usually found in areas where a) secretion and absorption occur b) mechanical or chemical stresses occur c) padding and elasticity are necessary d) storage and secretion occur 11. Cells that form a neat row with nuclei near the center of each cell and that appear square in typical sectional views are: a. stratified epithelium b. squamous epithelium c. cuboidal epithelium d. columnar epithelium 1
12. Glandular epithelia contain fluid cells that produce a. exocrine secretions only b. exocrine or endocrine secretions c. endocrine secretions only d. secretions released from goblet cells only 13. The major structural difference between columnar epithelia and cuboidal epithelia is that the columnar epithelia: a. are hexagonal and the nuclei are near the center of each cell b. consist of several layers of cells above the basement membrane c. are and flat and occupy the thickest portion of the membrane d. are taller and slender and the nuclei are crowded into a narrow band close to the basement membrane 14. The three basic components of all connective tissues are a. free exposed surface, exocrine secretions, endocrine secretions b. fluid matrix, cartilage, osteocytes c. specialized cells, protein fibers, ground substance d. satellite cells, cardiocytes, osteocytes 15. Most of the volume in loose connective tissue is made up of a. elastin & collagen fibers b. ground substance c. adipocytes 16. The major purposes of adipose tissue in the body are a) strength, flexibility, elasticity b) support, connection, conduction c) padding. reserve energy, insulating d) absorption, compression, lubrication 17. Tendons are cords composed of a) dense regular connective tissue b) loose connective tissue c) fibrocartilage d) hyaline cartilage e) elastic cartilage 18. Ligaments are bundles of elastic and collagen fibers that: a. connect one bone to another bone b. attach skeletal muscle to bones c. form synovial capsules around joints d. cover the surface of a muscle 19. The two types of supporting connective tissues found in the body are: a) regular and irregular connective tissue b) collagen and reticular fibers c) protoglycans and chondrocytes d) cartilage and bone 20. The three major varieties of cartilage found in the body are: a) collagen, reticular, and elastic cartilage b) regular, irregular, and dense cartilage c) hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage d) interstitial, adipose, and calcified 21. The flap (pinna) of the outer ear Is extremely resilient and flexible because it contains: a) elastic cartilage b) fibrocartilage c) hyaline cartilage d) dense regular cartilage 22. The pads that lie between the vertebrae of the spinal column contain: a) elastic cartilage b) fibrocartilage c) hyaline cartilage d) dense regular cartilage 23. Bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix are called: a) osteocytes b) chondrocytes c) adipocytes d) stoma 24. The three types of muscle tissue found in the body are: a) elastic, hyaline, fibrous b) striated, non-striated, fibrous c) voluntary, involuntary, non-striated d) skeletal, cardiac, smooth 2
25. Skeletal muscle fibers are very unusual because they may be: a) a foot or more in length., and each cell contains hundreds of nuclei b) subject to the activity of pacemaker cells, which establish contraction rate c) devoid of striations, spindle-shaped with a single nucleus d) are unable to be consciously controlled 26. The major function of neurons in neural tissue is: a) to provide a supporting framework for neural tissue b) to regulate the composition of the interstitial fluid c) to act as phagocytes that defend neural tissue d) to transmit electrical signals that take information throughout the body 27. Fill in the following chart Muscle Voluntary / type Involuntary Cardiac Single / Multinucleated Striated / Non-striated Location in Body Skeletal Smooth 28. The type of tissue that lines most of the digestive tract is a) pseudostratified b) simple squamous c) simple columnar d) stratified squamous 29. The protein that helps to bind stratified squamous together and makes the skin impervious to water is a) goblet cells b) keratin c) lumen d) acrinar 30. Found in the respiratory tract, pseudostratified has cilia along its outer boarder which functions to a) act as a barrier to prevent absorption of gasses before they enter the lungs b) aid in absorption of gasses as it passes by c) propel captured dust & debris out of the respiratory tract d) secrete mucus that moistens the air before it enters the lungs 3
