Total questions: 14
Worksheet time: 7mins
Epithelial tissue functions to
Provide structure and support, cushion organs, stores nutrients
Protect the body, absorb nutrients, filter blood and secrete
Carry impulses (messages) throughout the body
Made of muscle fibers that relax and contract
Connective tissue functions to
Provide structure and support, cushion organs, stores nutrients
Protect the body, absorb nutrients, filter blood and secrete
Carry impulses (messages) throughout the body
Made of muscle fibers that relax and contract
Nervous tissue functions to
Provide structure and support, cushion organs, stores nutrients
Protect the body, absorb nutrients, filter blood and secrete
Carry impulses (messages) throughout the body
Made of muscle fibers that relax and contract

Examples of epithelial tissue include
skin, digestive tract, pancreas, salivary gland
fat cells, tendons, bone, blood
neurons and glial cells
skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle
Examples of connective tissue include
skin, digestive tract, pancreas, salivary gland
fat cells, tendons, bone, blood
neurons and glial cells
skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle
A cells function can sometimes be determined by it's shape. Neurons are the longest cells in the body because they
relax and contract muscles causing movement
carry impulses sensing and responding to the environment
protect the body and absorb nutrients by covering/lining organs
provide structure, support, and store nutrients
There are three types of muscle tissue
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
bone, smooth, cardiac
nervous, smooth, cardiac
connective, smooth, cardiac
Involuntary muscle tissue are not under conscious control and move without our awareness, good examples would be
heart, intestines, biceps
biceps, triceps, skeletal muscles
tricerotops, bicerotops, legs
heart, intestines, eyelids
Involuntary muscle tissue are not under conscious control and move without our awareness, the muscle types that are involuntary are
smooth, cardiac
smooth
cardiac
skeletal
Voluntary muscle tissue are under conscious control and we can move them at will, the muscle type(s) that are voluntary are
smooth, cardiac
cardiac
cardiac, skeletal
skeletal
Blood is an extremely important tissue in our body because it transports oxygen and nutrients to our cells. Blood is
epithelial tissue
connective tissue
nervous tissue
muscle tissue
A type of epithelial tissue the secretes hormones
Glandular tissue- pancreas
Covering/lining- skin
nervous tissue- neuron
muscle tissue- smooth
Athletes sometimes injure this tissue during exercise
Glandular tissue- pancreas
Loose- fat cells
nervous tissue- neuron
Fibrous- tendons
