epithelial

Glandular secretions are produced by which tissue type?

mesenchymal cells

In intramembranous ossification, which cells first cluster together and start to secrete the organic components of the matrix?

Mesenchymal cells

Jacob wanted to know whether either of the cancers had metastasized and gained the ability to move throughout the body. Tissue from Patient 1 included fibroid, spindle-shaped cells that resembled mesenchymal cells. Tissue from Patient 2 included many layers of thin, flat cells. Chemical assays showed that Patient 2's cells were producing keratin and a glycoprotein called E-cadherin, which is a cell adhesion protein. Patient 1's cells were not producing those materials. Jacob should be concerned that one of his patient's tumors has which of the following things?

d. transmit electrical impulses.

Neuroglia do all of the following EXCEPT: a. perform phagocytosis. b. regulate interstitial fluid composition. c. repair neural tissue framework. d. transmit electrical impulses.

cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx

Of the following, which correctly identifies the sequence of the vertebrae from superior to inferior?

cells of the stratum basale of the epidermis

hypodermis

The cutaneous membrane includes all the following except the __________. a. reticular layer of the dermis b. papillary layer of the dermis c. epidermis d. hypodermis
