A

Which types of cell junctions prevent the contents of organs from leaking into surrounding tissues? A. Tight junctions B. Adherens junctions C. Desmosomes D. Hemidesmosomes E. Gap junctions

A

Which types of muscular tissue have gap junctions? A. Smooth B. Smooth and cardiac C. Cardiac D. Skeletal and cardiac E. Skeletal

B

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Simple squamous epithelium is found in thin layers so substances can pass through them rapidly B. Transitional epithelium change shape to allow structures such as the urinary bladder to distend and collapse C. Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is adapted for absorption D. Ciliated simple columnar epithelium moves mucus by ciliary action

C

Which of the following statements is/are correct? A. Mucous membranes would be found lining the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and reproductive tract B. Serous membranes such as the pleura line the thoracic cavity and cover the lungs C. The skin is a cutaneous membrane D. All of these are correct

D

Connective tissues and epithelia differ in that: A. Most connective tissue is highly vascularized B. Connective tissue consists of cell matrix and fibers C. One type of connective tissue stores energy D. Connective tissues are not found on body surfaces E. The two differ in all of the above

E

These cell junctions provide electrical and chemical communications between cells. A. Tight junctions B. Adherens junctions C. Desmosomes D. Hemisesmosomes E. Gap junctions

E

Which of the following is mismatched? A. Adipocytes - store large drops of triglycerides B. Dense regular connective tissue - contains parallel bundles of connective tissue that resist stretching in structure like tendons C. Reticular tissue - contains reticular fibers which make up the framework of organs like the liver D. Elastic connective tissue - is found in large arteries and allows stretching E. Fibrocartilage - contains stacks of chondrocytes and is designed to withstand pressure in structures such as mucous membranes

E

Which of the following statements is/are correct? A. Each connective tissue type contains immature cells ending in -blast and mature cells with names ending in -cyte B. The connective tissue matrix consists of hyalurnidase C. Connective tissues may contain collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers D. A, B, and C are correct E. A and C are correct

E

True or False: Cardiac and smooth muscle are striated.

False

True or False: A tissue is a group of cells that usually have a common origin in the embryo and function together to carry out specialized activities.

True

True or False: Electrical excitability is important to muscle fibers and neurons because it allows them to receive messages and respond to stimuli.

True

True or False: Granulation tissue is important because it forms a framework for epithelial cells to move into an open area and fill it and because it secretes an antibacterial substance.

True

Epithelial and connective tissues are found adjacent to each other because: A. Epithelium is avascular and needs to exchange oxygen, nutrients, and waste with the blood of highly vascular connective tissue B. Connective tissue is avascular and needs to exchange oxygen, nutrients, and waste with the blood of the highly vascular epithelium C. The two tissues are seldom adjacent to each other D. The two are coupled by gap junctions to allow for nutrient, oxygen, and waste exchange

A

The basic types of human tissues are: A. Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, and Nervous B. Epithelial, Membranous, Muscular, and Nervous C. Muscular, Nervous, Epithelial, and Mesenteric D. Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, and Glandular

A

Which of the following characteristics are shared by all epithelial cells? A. Cells are arranged in continuous sheets B. There is little space between plasma membranes C. All cells have a free surface D. All of these characteristics are shared by all epithelial cells

D

Which of the following statements are correct concerning nervous tissue? A. The cell body is the metabolic center and contains the nucleus and other organelles B. Dendrites receive impulse from other neurons C. Axons conduct impulses to another neuron or tissue D. All of these are correct

D

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Endocrine glands secrete products directly into the blood stream while exocrine glands secrete their products to a surface through ducts B. Merocrine glands release products from the cell in secretory vesicles by exocytosis C. Apocrine glands release products by pinching off the part of the cell containing them D. Holocrine glands release products by rupturing the cell E. Exocrine glandssecrete products directly into the blood stream while endocrine glands secrete their prodcuts to a surface through ducts

E

True or False: Endothelium forms the epithelial layer of serous membranes and mesothelium lines the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.

False
