- A group of cells that usually have a common origin & a specialized function is called a _________.
- tissue
- Secretions of _______ glands enter the interstitial fluid, and then diffuse into the blood stream.
- 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 ha - 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
