Ch 5. Histology

Which of the following is NOT one of the four basic types of body tissues?

• Epithelial tissue

• Connective tissue

• Muscle tissue

• Nervous tissue

• Occular tissue

A basement membrane anchors

• muscle tissue to nervous tissue

• epithelial tissue to connective tissue

• connective tissue to muscle tissue

• nervous tissue to epithelial tissue

Epithelial tissue functions in

• absorption

• protection

• excretion

• secretion

• all of these

the tissue through which gases are exchanged between the blood and the air in the lungs is

• stratified squamous epithelium

• simple squamous epithelium

• simple cuboidal epithelium

• stratified columnar epithelium

The tissue that forms the inner lining of the respiratory passages is

• all of these

• pseudostratified

• columnar epithelium

• ciliated

• mucus-secreting

The type of epithelium that lines the urinary bladder and many urinary passageways is

• squamous

• cuboidal

• columnar

• transitional

• pseudostratified

Tendons and ligaments are composed primarily of

• adipose tissue

• dense connective tissue

• muscle tissue

• areolar tissue

• epithelial tissue

Cartilage tissue are likely to be slow in healing following an injury because

• cartilage cells cannot divide

• cartilage tissue lack direct blood supplies

• the intercellular matrix is semisolid

• cartilage cells are surrounded by fluid

Membranes lining body cavities that lack openings to the outside are called

• synovial membranes

• mucous membranes

• serous membranes

• cutaneous membranes

The muscle tissue that can be consciously controlled is

• skeletal muscle tissue

• intercalated muscle tissue

• cardiac muscle tissue

• smooth muscle tissue
