How many basic types of muscle tissue are there?

3

How many primary tissue types are found in the body?

4

The epidermis contains ___ layers.

5

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

Adipose

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

Connective

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

Dense regular

Pressure receptors, called lamellar (Pacinian) corpuscles, are located in this layer of the integument.

Dermal reticular layer

What is true about the blood supply to the skin?

Epidermis is avascular and dermis is richly vascularized.

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

Neurons

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

Osseuos tissue

These glands are found all over the skin except in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. They produce an oily substance that lubricates skin and hair.

Sebaceous glands

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

Simple cuboidal

This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs. It has no striations, and its cells are spindle shaped. It is __________.

Smooth muscle

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

Stratified squamous

The cells in this layer of epidermis are dead, and their flat, scale-like remnants are filled with keratin.

Stratum corneum

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

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

Skin color can indicate certain disease states. A reddened, flushed face might indicate ________.

hypertension, fever or embarassment

Epithelial tissues are found ________.

lining hollow organs

All connective tissue is derived from an embryonic tissue known as

mesenchyme

Epithelial cells are specialized to ________.

secrete, filter, and absorb
