What is the main function of epithelial tissue?

• Oxygen transport

• Energy production

• Protection and absorption

• Support and movement

Name the different types of connective tissue and provide an example of each.

• There are five types of connective tissue: loose connective tissue (e.g. areolar tissue), dense connective tissue (e.g. tendons and ligaments), adipose tissue (e.g. fat), cartilage (e.g. hyaline cartilage), and muscle tissue (e.g. skeletal muscle)

• There are four types of connective tissue: loose connective tissue (e.g. adipose tissue), dense connective tissue (e.g. cartilage), adipose tissue (e.g. fat), and bone (e.g. compact bone)

• There are six types of connective tissue: loose connective tissue (e.g. areolar tissue), dense connective tissue (e.g. tendons and ligaments), adipose tissue (e.g. fat), cartilage (e.g. hyaline cartilage), bone (e.g. compact bone), and blood (e.g. plasma and cells).

• There are three types of connective tissue: loose connective tissue (e.g. areolar tissue), dense connective tissue (e.g. tendons and ligaments), and adipose tissue (e.g. fat)

Which type of muscle tissue is striated and voluntary?

• Adipose tissue

• Smooth muscle

• Cardiac muscle

• Skeletal muscle

What is the function of nervous tissue?

• Store nutrients

• Transmit and process information

• Regulate body temperature

• Produce hormones

What are the different types of epithelial tissue based on cell shape?

• Squamous, cuboidal, and columnar

• Round, oval, triangular

• Smooth, rough, bumpy

• Flat, concave, convex

Explain the role of collagen in connective tissue.

• Collagen helps in transporting oxygen in connective tissues.

• Collagen provides strength and structure to connective tissues.

• Collagen is responsible for regulating the immune response in connective tissues.

• Collagen acts as a lubricant in connective tissues.

Which type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs like the stomach and bladder?

• Smooth muscle

• Textured muscle

• Bumpy muscle

• Rough muscle

What are the two main cell types found in nervous tissue?

• Skin cells and hair cells

• Muscle cells and bone cells

• Neurons and neuroglia

• Red blood cells and white blood cells

Describe the structure of simple squamous epithelium and its location in the body.

• Single layer of cube-shaped cells; located in the alveoli of the lungs

• Single layer of flat cells; located in areas for filtration or diffusion

• Multiple layers of round cells; located in the skin

• No specific structure; located in the digestive system

How does adipose tissue function in the body?

• It functions as a site for vitamin synthesis

• It functions as a site for muscle attachment

• It functions as a storage site for energy in the form of fat, as well as providing insulation and cushioning for the body.

• It functions as a site for blood cell production
