Tissues Review

A tissue is formed by a group of __________ performing or associated with similar function.

• tissues

• cells

• organ systems

• macromolecules

There are four primary types of tissues; they are:

• epithelial, cartilage, muscular, and brain

• connective, epithelial, skin, and blood

• epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous

• glands, bone, lungs, and kidneys

Muscle tissue is characterized by its:

• strength

• durability

• contractility

• rigidity

A tissue specialized for energy storage and thermal insulation is:

• cartilaginous tissue

• muscular tissue

• adipose tissue

• epithelial tissue

Which of the following is not one of the four primary classes of tissue?

• cartilaginous tissue

• connective tissue

• epithelial tissue

• muscular tissue

About 90% of all cancers originate from:

• epithelium

• connective tissue

• muscle tissue

• nervous tissue

When different varieties of tissues are associated to perform a function, they form the structure known as a(n):

• specialized tissue

• organ

• cells

• organ system

Epithelial tissue is characterized by:

• tightly packed cells

• absence of any basement membrane

• extensive extracellular matrix

• a rich blood supply

The various types of epithelium are classified by the:

• size and shape of cells

• shape of cells and number of cell layers

• number of cell layers and size of the cells

• size and location of cells

Epithelial tissue is distinguished from connective tissue, muscular, or nervous tissue by its:

• large extracellular matrix

• contractility

• ability to carry action potentials

• basement membrane
