Chapter 4 Quiz questions
which of the following statements is TRUE regarding muscle tissue?
both cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue are striated
The skin is also called the ________ membrane.
cutaneous
which of the following consists of stratified squamous epithelial tissue, areolar tissue, and dense irregular connective tissue?
cutaneous membrane
recall that a synovial membrane lines the cavity of a freely movable joint. The synovial fluid it secretes lubricates the joint and permits smooth movement. what kind of cells secrete the synovial fluid?
fibroblasts
To form an effective barrier that protects underlying tissues, the epithelial cells of the skin must hold onto one another and also be connected to the rest of the body. They do this with specialized cell junctions known as desmosomes. Desmosomes lock together the plasma membrane of epithelial cells, forming the different strata of the epidermis. Hemidesmosomes firmly attach stratum basale to the extracellular basement membrane. What kind of specialized cell junction permits the free diffusion of ions and small molecules between two cells?
gap junction
what is the layer called that contains adipose tissue?
hypodermis
Tissue that contains large amounts of actin and myosin is ______ tissue
muscle
Tissue that is specialized for contraction is ________ tissue.
muscle
which feature is true for muscle tissue?
muscle cells contain actin and myosin filaments
__________ are cells that support and protect the neurons
neuroglia
A difference between mucous membranes and serous membranes is
whether the cavity is open to the exterior or not
neurons have
a cell body, dendrites, and an axon
which of the following is NOT a type of tissue membrane
apocrine
which portion of the neuron is labeled D?
axon
recall that the epidermis is a stratified squamous epithelium and is found where mechanical stresses are severe. The tissue level of organization provides physical protection against abrasion and chemical attack, and helps keep microorganisms outside the body. What is the name of the structure that connects epithelial to connective tissue.
basement membrane
compared to other muscle cells, what is one thing unique to cardiac muscle cells?
intercalated discs
specialized gap junctions between muscle cells produce
intercalated discs
which of the following states is TRUE regarding neural tissue?
it contains two major types of cells
which of the following characteristics can be used to describe the muscle cell type above?
it is involuntary (smooth muscle)
what is the primary function of any serous membrane?
it minimizes friction between the opposing surfaces when an organ moves or changes shape
which statement is true abut nervous tissue?
not all nervous tissue is located within the brain and spinal cord
the membrane lining the peritoneal cavity is an example of what type of membrane?
serous
what type of muscle is this?
skeletal muscle
The muscle tissue without striations is ________ muscle.
smooth
The type(s) of muscle cell that has/have the ability to divide, and regenerate after injury, is/are ___ muscles
smooth
which muscle is involuntary?
smooth and cardiac
Identify the tissue in the image, which is comprised of short, spindle-shaped cells that are found in the walls of blood vessels and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive organs
smooth muscle
which tissue is found in the walls of blood vessels , and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive organs?
smooth muscle
neuroglial cells are
supporting cells around the neurons
Structure F on the skin diagram is a(n)
sweat gland
membranes that consist primarily of areolar tissue and an incomplete layer of epithelial tissue are called ____ membranes
synovial
why is smooth muscle called by that name?
the actin and myosin filaments are not organized
how could this tissue be described?
this tissue is for compression, which moves food through the organ
