functions of epithelial tissues.

reticular, elastic, collagen

The 3 types of fibers that can be found in connective tissue are

bind and support body parts

The basic function of connective tissue is to

blood

The connective tissue that is composed of formed elements and plasma is

microvilli

The digestive tract is lined with columnar epithelial cells that have an expanded surface area due to small projections called

matrix

The ground substance and fibers found in connective tissue is collectively referred to as the

fibroblast

The major type of cell found in fibrous connective tissue is the

ground substance and fibers

The matrix of fibrous connective tissue includes which of the following?

actin and mysosin

The two major types of protein filaments in muscle tissue are filaments and filaments

cuboidal

The type of epithelium that consists of cube-shaped cells, which is frequently found in the glands, is _________ epithelium.

skeletal muscles

The type of muscle tissue that is under voluntary control is muscle.

simple

There are two classes of epithelium based on how many cell layers they are made up of. An epithelial tissue made up of one layer of cells is called ___________ epithelium.

simple; stratified

There are two classes of epithelium based on how many layers of cells they are made up of. Epithelial tissue made up of one layer of cells is called ______ epithelium, while epithelial tissue with multiple cell layers is called _______ epithelium.

nervous

conduct impulses

tissue

A ___________ is made up of specialized cells of the same type that perform a common function.

basement membrane

All epithelial tissues are anchored to underlying tissues by a thin layer of carbohydrates and proteins known as the

fiber

Another term for a muscle cell is a muscle

supportive connective tissue

Cartilage and bone are types of

kidney tubules, salivary glands

Cuboidal epithelium is found in which of the following organs?

squamous

Epithelial tissue can be classified by its cell shape. Epithelial tissue made of flattened cells is called epithelium.

stratified

Epithelial tissue either has one layer of cells or multiple layers of cells. If it has multiple layers of cells, it is called epithelium.

the ground substance

In connective tissues, the noncellular material that separates the cells is called the

it is made up of similar cells that perform a common function

Muscle tissue is considered a tissue because

the basement membrane

One side of an epithelial tissue is exposed to the environment, and on the other is/are

intestinal wall, blood vessel wall, bladder

Select all of the locations in the human body where smooth muscle is found.

ureter urinary bladder

Select two organs of the human body where transitional epithelium can be found.

uterine tubes digestive tract

Simple columnar epithelium is found in which of the following locations? Select all that apply.

true

True or false: In connective tissues the ground substance can vary from solid to liquid in consistency.

false

True or false: The outermost layer of skin is simple squamous epithelium.

smooth muscle

What type of muscle is found in the walls of visceral organs such as the intestine and bladder?

when it is damaged by smoking, bronchitis may result all cells contact the basement membrane the cells are ciliated

Which descriptions apply to the pseudostratified columnar epithelium in the windpipe (trachea)?

Tightly packed cells that form a continuous layer

Which is the best description of the general structure of epithelial tissue?

ground substance, matrix, fibroblasts, collagen fibers

Which of the following are present in fibrous connective tissues?

mouth vagina anal canal

Which of the following organs contain stratified squamous epithelium? Select all that apply.

specialized cells, protein fibers, ground substance

Which three components are common to all types of connective tissue?

Pseudostratified columnar

Which type of epithelium appears to be multiple layers but is actually a single layer?

skeletal muscle

Which type of muscle tissue is composed of cells that are striated in appearance and under voluntary control?

connective

binds and supports body parts

epithelial

covers surfaces and line cavities

muscular

movement

skeletal tissue

striated, multiple nuclei, cylindrical cells

cardiac tissue

striated, single nucleus, branched cells

muscular, connective, nervous, epithelial

the four major types of tissues in the human body

skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles, smooth muscles

the three types of muscular tissue in vertebrate animals

collagen, reticular, elastin

three types of fibers found in connective tissue
