Tissues & Cells Review

The type of tissue that has an extracellular matrix is called:

• epithelial tissue
• connective tissue
• muscle tissue
• nervous tissue

The three types of muscle tissue are:

• skeletal, cardiac and smooth
• cell body, axon and dendrite
• simple, stratified and transitional
• squamous, cuboidal and columnar

The four main (primary) kinds of tissues that compose the body’s organs are:

• fat, muscle, bone and nerve
• blood, muscle, bone and nerve
• epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve
• skin, fat, muscle and bone

Tissues are: 

• groups of organs that perform a common function
• groups of cells that perform a common function 
• only found in muscles and bones
• only found in the brain and the breast  

Histology is the study of 

• the liver, only
• plant cells
• cells and tissues 
• viruses

The free (top) surface of epithelial tissue is 

• apical
• basement
• topical 
• regional

Cell membranes are semi-permeable, meaning that 

• viruses and other pathogens are always blocked from entering
• any molecule can enter the cell without the use of energy. 
• only water molecules can fit through it. 
• some molecules can pass through, and others cannot.

These epithelial cells with nuclei appearing at different heights are 

• simple squamous epithelium
• stratified cuboidal epithelium
• stratified squamous epithelium
• pseudostratified epithelium

Tissues that heal well through regeneration include 

• nervous tissue within the brain and spinal cord
• cardiac muscle
• cell membranes
• epithelial tissue and bone

The type of muscle that humans typically eat as meat, such as on chicken wings or a steak, is 

• cardiac muscle
• skeletal muscle
• smooth muscle
• glandular muscle
