Types of Tissues in the Human Body

Which type of tissue helps provide structure, support, defense, and transport materials?

• Epithelial tissue

• Connective tissue

• Nervous tissue

• Muscle tissue

What are the two types of fibers found in connective tissue?

• Collagen and elastic fibers

• Smooth and skeletal fibers

• Cardiac and skeletal fibers

• Dendrites and axons

Where is loose connective tissue found?

• In and around blood vessels and organs

• In tendons and ligaments

• At the end of bones and in the nose and ears

• As body fat for insulation and energy storage

What is the function of epithelial tissues?

• Protection, secretion, absorption, and sensation

• Structure, support, and defense

• Movement and heat production

• Transmission of electrical signals

Which type of epithelial tissue is found in the lungs and blood vessels?

• Squamous

• Cuboidal

• Columnar

• Stratified

Where are nerve tissues found in the human body?

• In the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral systems

• In the lungs and blood vessels

• In the digestive tract and trachea

• In tendons and ligaments

What is the function of neurons?

• To transmit electrical signals throughout the body

• To provide structure and support

• To help with movement and posture

• To produce heat

Which type of muscle tissue is responsible for movement inside and outside of the body?

• Smooth muscle tissue

• Cardiac muscle tissue

• Skeletal muscle tissue

• Connective muscle tissue

What is the main difference between smooth and skeletal muscles?

• Smooth muscles have regularly repeated stripes, while skeletal muscles do not

• Smooth muscles are voluntary, while skeletal muscles are involuntary

• Smooth muscles are found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found in the digestive tract

• Smooth muscles help with movement of food, waste, and blood, while skeletal muscles help with body posture

Where are cardiac muscles found?

• In and around blood vessels and organs

• In tendons and ligaments

• At the end of bones and in the nose and ears

• In the heart
