Animal Tissues

What are the four major categories of animal tissues based on their functions?

• Filtration, Absorption, Secretion, Glandular

• Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Nervous

• Above, Below, Around, Inside

• Protection, Connection, Movement, Transmission

What is the function of epithelial tissue?

• Assisting in movement

• Forming a protective covering

• Supporting organs

• Transmitting signals

What is the structure of epithelial tissue like?

• Tightly packed cells forming continuous sheets

• No basement membrane

• Loosely packed cells with intercellular spaces

• Large amount of cementing material

What is the purpose of the basement membrane in epithelial tissue?

• To separate the cells

• To provide support

• To hold the cells together in a single, straight line

• To form a protective covering

What type of epithelium is needed for filtration?

• Glandular Epithelium

• Cuboidal epithelium

• Columnar epithelium

• Simple Squamous epithelium

What type of epithelium is needed for absorption and secretion?

• Cuboidal epithelium

• Columnar epithelium

• Glandular Epithelium

• Simple Squamous epithelium

What type of epithelium is needed for strength or support along with a larger surface area?

• Glandular Epithelium

• Cuboidal epithelium

• Columnar epithelium

• Simple Squamous epithelium

What type of epithelium is needed for specialized secretions?

• Cuboidal epithelium

• Glandular Epithelium

• Columnar epithelium

• Simple Squamous epithelium
