A tissue that covers a surface, is one cell layer thick, and is composed of flat cells is
simple squamous epithelium
simple cubodial epithelium
simple columnar epithelium
stratified squamous epithelium
transitional epithelium
Epithelium composed of two or more layers of cells with only the deepest layer in contact with the basement membrane is known as
stratified epithelium
simple epithelium
pseudostratified epithelium
columnar epithelium
Given these characteristics:
- capable of contraction
- covers all free body surfaces
- lacks blood vessels
- comprises various glands
- anchored to connective tissue by a basement membrane
Which of these are characteristics of epithelial tissue?
1,2,3
2,3,5
3,4,5
1,2,3,4
2,3,4,5
Stratified epithelium is usually found in areas of the body where the principal activity is
filtration
protection
absorption
diffusion
An epithelial cell with microvilli would most likely be found
lining blood vessel
lining the nasal cavity
in serious membranes
lining the small intestine
A type of junction between epithelial cells whose ONLY function is to prevent the cells from coming apart (provided mechanical strength) is the
desmosome
gap junction
dermatome
tight junction
Pseudostratified ciliated epithelium can be found lining the
digestive tract
trachea
urinary bladder
kidney tubules
In parts of the body such as the urinary bladder, where considerable stretching occurs, one can expect to find which of these types of cells?
cubodial epithelium
pseudostratified epithelium
transitional epithelium
squamous epithelium
The fibers in dense connective tissue are formed by
fibroblasts
adipose cells
osteoblasts
macrophages
mast cells
A tissue that contains a large amount of extracellular collagen organized as parallel fibers would probable be found in
a muscle
a tendon
adipose tissue
bone
cartilage
Which of these is true of adipose tissue?
site of energy storage
a type of connective tissue
acts as a protective cushion
functions as a heat insulator
all of the above
Hyaline cartilage is found in
the external ear
the disks between the vertebrae
joints covering the ends of bones
the costal cartilages
both c and d
Blood is an example of
epithelial tissue
connective tissue
muscle tissue
nervous tissue
Which of these is characteristic of skeletal muscle?
under involuntary (unconscious) control
cells tapered at each end
intercalated disks present
several nuclei per cell
all of the above
Which of these statements about nervous tissue is NOT true?
neurons have cell processes (extensions) called axons
electrical signals (action potentials) are conducted along axons
Dendrites contain the nucleus and control general cell function
Neurons are nourished and protected by neuroglia
A bullet that passes through one's upper arm without hitting bone could contract which of these tissue types?
nervous
muscle
connective
epithelial
all of the above
