Test on Tissues

Front

What are osteons?

Back

Osteons are cylindrical structures in bone tissue that consist of concentric circles of bone cells (osteocytes) arranged around a central canal, which contains blood vessels and nerves.

Front

What is an epithelial membrane?

Back

An epithelial membrane is a structure composed of two or more types of tissues, typically including epithelial tissue and connective tissue, functioning as an organ.

Front

Which cell type is least likely to reproduce?

Back

Skeletal muscle cells are least likely to reproduce because they are multinucleated and have limited regenerative capacity.

Front

What is plasma in the context of blood?

Back

Plasma is the liquid extracellular matrix in which blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) are suspended.

Front

Why do cartilage tissues heal slowly?

Back

Cartilage tissues heal slowly because they lack direct blood supplies, which limits the delivery of nutrients and removal of waste.

Front

What are the main components of blood?

Back

Blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

Front

Define connective tissue.

Back

Connective tissue is a type of tissue that supports, binds together, and protects other tissues and organs in the body.

Front

What is the function of epithelial tissue?

Back

Epithelial tissue serves as a protective barrier, facilitates absorption, secretion, and sensation.

Front

What are the types of muscle tissue?

Back

The three types of muscle tissue are skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.

Front

What is the role of red blood cells?

Back

Red blood cells (erythrocytes) transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
