These structures aid with movement along the epithelial surface.
flagella
microvilli
cilia
Epithelial tissue is...
vascular and innervated
avascular and not innervated
avascular and innervated
vascular and not innervated
Polarity means that
epithelial tissue has a basal and an apical surface
epithelial tissue is homogenous throughout
epithelial tissue has north and south poles
epithelial tissue is characterized by polar covalent bonds
The side of an epithelium that is attached to the basement membrane.
apical
basal
The basal lamina (choose all that apply)
acts as a filter
is highly cellular
is adjacent to the basal surface of the epithelium
acts as scaffolding for wound repair
Microvilli decrease the exposed surface area of epithelial tissues
True
False
These keep proteins in the apical region from diffusing to the basal region
reticular lamina
desmosomes
tight junctions
guard cells
All epithelial tissue is supported by...
Muscular tissue
Connective tissue
Nervous tissue
Innervated means
Lacking nerve fibers
Supplied by nerve fibers
Containing many blood vessels
Lacking blood vessels
A gland consists of one or more cells that make and secrete a particular product.
True
False
Epithelial tissues are...
nearly 100% cellular
70% cellular
30% cellular
5% cellular
Extracellular matrix is found in (select all that apply)
basal lamina
reticular lamina
the apical surface
Which epithelial tissue secrete substances that go to body surfaces or into body cavities through ducts or exocytosis.
simple squamous
exocrine gland
endocrine gland
stratified epithelium
If epithelium is damaged or destroyed...
epithelial cells reproduce rapidly
epithelial cells reproduce slowly
epithelial cells do not reproduce
epithelial cells do not reproduce by cell division
Which of the following is NOT a major function of body membranes?
cover body surfaces
line body cavities
form protective sheets around organs
divide the organs in the abdominopelvic cavities
Which of the following is not one of the epithelial membranes?
cutaneous membrane
mucous membrane
serous membrane
tympanic membrane
The main functions of the synovial membrane are (choose all that apply)
line space between bone and joint
Secrete fluid to reduce friction
help hear better
distribute nutrients to cartilage
This membrane lines body cavities that do not open to the external environment; it covers the external surface of many organs.
serous
mucous
cutaneous
synovial
What layer of the serous membrane lies closest to the organ?
visceral
parietal
peritoneal
endoral
This membrane is composed of the epidermis (consisting of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium) and the dermis (connective tissue).
mucous
serous
cutaneous
synovial
Body membrane structures
are formed by an epithelial layer bound to connective tissue
are formed by a mucosa and connective tissue
only protect the body from the outside environment
only line body caveties
