A) blood clots
B) neuroglia
C) desmosomes
D) granulation tissue

C) muscle
D) connective
E) None of these choices

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue includes glands that produce secretions such as sweat, which helps to lower body temperature, and mucus, which lubricates and protects body surfaces.

Question 4

All of the following are characteristics of connective and epithelial tissues EXCEPT ___.
A) connective tissue cells are farther from each other than epithelial cells
B) there is material, extracellular matrix (ECM), between cells in connective tissue but usually no ECM in epithelium
C) epithelial tissues have a good blood supply that often diffuses into the connective tissue to nourish them as well

E) connective tissue contains no fibers, but epithelial tissue contain collagen fibers

Accepted Answer

The answer of All of the following are characteristics of...

Question 5

Tissue repair uses cells that originate from the ___.
A) basement membrane or mucous membrane
B) stroma or parenchyma
C) chief cells or goblet cells
D) peritoneum or pericardium
E) synovial fluid or hyaluronic acid

Accepted Answer

Tissue repair involves cells from the stroma (supportive tissue) and parenchyma (functional tissue) to restore structure and function.

Question 6

Which of these is a squamous epithelial tissue? 
A) A
B) B
C) C
D) A and B
E) None of these choices

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of these is a squamous epithelial...

Question 7

If you compared a slide of an epithelial tissue to that of a connective tissue under a light microscope, which of these differences would you NOT expect to see?
A) The connective tissue would have widely spaced cells; the epithelial tissue would have tightly packed cells.
B) The epithelial tissue would line a surface; the connective tissue would not be a surface layer but may be closely associated with the surface epithelial layer.
C) The connective tissue would have an extensive network of blood vessels; the epithelial tissue would be avascular.
D) Connective tissue would have few cells compared to the amount of extracellular matrix (ECM); the epithelial tissue would have many cells relative to ECM.
E) The epithelial tissue may have a liquid ECM; connective tissues always have solid ECM.

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissues do not have a liquid ECM; they have minimal ECM as the cells are tightly packed. Connective tissues can have various types of ECM, including liquid (as in blood), gel-like, or solid.

Question 8

Which of the following has the poorest capacity for repair or renewal?
A) epithelium
B) cardiac muscle
C) skeletal muscle
D) nervous tissue
E) bone

Accepted Answer

Nervous tissue has the poorest capacity for repair or renewal because neurons, the primary cells of the nervous system, are highly specialized and do not undergo cell division.

Question 9

What type of epithelial tissue forms the epidermal layer of the skin?
A) simple squamous epithelium
B) simple cuboidal epithelium
C) stratified squamous epithelium
D) stratified cuboidal epithelium
E) simple columnar epithelium

Accepted Answer

The epidermal layer of the skin is composed of stratified squamous epithelium, which provides protection against abrasion and pathogens.

Question 10

All of the following are functions of mucus EXCEPT ___.
A) protects the lining of the stomach from harmful chemicals
B) traps dust particles in the respiratory system
C) lubricates food as it moves through the gastrointestinal tract
D) traps foreign particles like bacteria and viruses in the respiratory
E) lubricates the ends of bones as they move in joints

Accepted Answer

Mucus does not lubricate the ends of bones in joints; that function is performed by synovial fluid.

Question 11

Which of these is a columnar epithelial tissue? 
A) A
B) B
C) C
D) A and B
E) None of these choices

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of these is a columnar epithelial...

Question 12

Near perfect tissue regeneration is possible if ___ cells accomplish the repair.
A) stromal
B) cartilage
C) parenchymal
D) neuraglial
E) mesenchymal

Accepted Answer

Parenchymal cells are the functional cells of an organ that can regenerate and restore the normal function of the tissue, leading to near perfect tissue regeneration.

Question 13

Which of these tissues is a stratified epithelial tissue? 
A) A
B) B
C) C
D) A and B
E) None of these choices

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of these tissues is a stratified...

Question 14

Which of the following tissues would most likely have the best blood supply?
A) epithelium
B) skeletal muscle
C) elastic cartilage
D) fibrocartilage
E) hyaline cartilage

Accepted Answer

Skeletal muscle has a rich blood supply to meet its high metabolic demands during contraction and relaxation.

Question 15

What is the correct term for the layer of a serous membrane that is attached to the body cavity wall?
A) parietal layer
B) perichondrium
C) visceral layer
D) peritoneum
E) synovial layer

Accepted Answer

The parietal layer of a serous membrane is the part that lines the body cavity wall, while the visceral layer covers the organs.

Question 16

Which of these is a cuboidal epithelial tissue? 
A) A
B) B
C) C
D) A and B
E) None of these choices

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of these is a cuboidal epithelial...

Question 17

The lining of body cavities that are exposed to the exterior, like those found in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems, are covered by ___.
A) cutaneous membranes
B) mucous membranes
C) serous membranes
D) synovial membranes
E) plasma membranes

Accepted Answer

Mucous membranes line body cavities that are open to the exterior, such as those in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems, and they secrete mucus to keep the surfaces moist.

Question 18

Which category of connective tissue functions to bind skin to underlying tissues and to bind smooth muscle cells together?
A) loose connective tissue
B) dense connective tissue
C) hyaline cartilage
D) fibrous cartilage
E) elastic connective tissue

Accepted Answer

Loose connective tissue, specifically areolar tissue, functions to bind skin to underlying tissues and to bind smooth muscle cells together.

A) simple squamous epithelium
B) stratified squamous epithelium
C) simple cuboidal epithelium
D) stratified cubodial epithelium
E) ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous epithelium is designed to protect against physical damage and is found in areas like the esophagus where protection is needed but secretion or absorption is not a primary function.
