How many basic types of muscle tissue are there?

3

What physical force is best resisted by having multiple layers of oral squamous epithelium.

Abrasion

This connective tissue consists of large, round densely packed cells with the nucleus pushed to one side.

Adipose

This type of connective tissue is primarily composed of cells.

Adipose

What is NOT true of connective tissues?

All connective tissues contain elastic fibers.

This type of connective tissue is found under epithelia, packaging organs and surrounding capillaries.

Areolar

This connective tissue is made of hard calcified matrix and stores calcium and other minerals.

Bone

___ muscle cells consist of branched uninucleate cells with junctions called intercalated discs.

Cardiac

This is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue type in the body.

Connective

This connective tissue is packed with parallel collagen fibers, attaches muscles o bone and can withstand great stress when pilled in one direction.

Dense Regular

This connective tissue looks like strands of wavy hair. It is very strong and attaches muscle to bone.

Dense Regular

This tough strong connective tissue is found beneath the epithelial tissue of the skin. It is packed with collagen fibers that run in all different direction.

Dense irregular

This tissue type is a covering and lining tissue. It also includes glands.

Epithelial

This is the toughest kind of cartilage. It is found in places that receive a lot of mechanical issues.

Fibrocartilage

How many primary tissue types are found in the human body?

Four

Cardiac muscle is found in the ______?

Heart

What additional component associated with outer skin epithelium is not seen in the oral epithelium.

Keratin

All connective tissue is derived from an embryonic tissue known as ______.

Mesenchyme

This primary tissue type generated electrical signals and can actively contract.

Muscle

Two of the four primary tissue type contains excitable cells, cells that receive stimuli and generate electrical signals. One of these is muscle tissue. Name the other.

Nervous

The support cells found in nervous tissue are called ___?

Neuroglia

All of the following are examples of connect tissue EXCEPT _____.

Neurons

Of two major cell types found in nervous tissue, ____ cells are highly specialized to generate and conduct electrical signals.

Neurons

_______ are cells that make up the brain, and spinal cord and transmit electrical signals from receptors to effectors.

Neurons

Simple epithelial have _______

One type of epithelial cells, arranged in a single layer.

Select the tissue that is simple epithelium

Pseudostratified

Epithelial cells are specialized to _________?

Secrete, filter, and absorb

This epithelial tissue forms the kidney tubules and the ducts and secretory portions of small glands.

Simple Cuboidal

This tissue can look like the hexagonal tiles of a bathroom floor. It also forms the air sacs of the lungs.

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Which muscle tissue type is controlled voluntarily.

Skeletal

Of the basic muscle types, this is the "meat" of the body, attached to the skeleton which moves the limbs and other body parts

Skeletal Muscle

Epithelial tissues can be classified according to cell shape. _____ epithelial cells are scalelike and flattened.

Squamous

This epithelial tissue has many cell layers. It forms the outer layer of skin.

Stratified Squamous

What is NOT true of epithelial cells?

They are richly vascularized.

Groups of cells that are anatomically similar and share a function.

Tissues

This tissue type is capable of changing its shape and stretching. It lines the urinary bladder and ureters

Transitional Epithelium

Blood is a type of connective tissue.

True

Endocrine and Exocrine glands are classified as epithelium because they usually develop from epithelial membranes.

True

Squamous Epithelial cells ______

are thin and flat, like fish scales

Epithelial tissues are found where?

lining of hollow organs

This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hallow organs. It has no striations and its cells are spindle shaped. It is _____?

smooth
