Question 1

The tissue that lines the mouth and esophagus,which undergoes mitosis to replace cells lost from the surface,is:

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous epithelium is the tissue type that lines the mouth and esophagus, and is characterized by multiple layers of cells that undergo mitosis to replace cells lost from the surface.

Question 2

Which of the following statements are true of the tissues of the respiratory tract? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

The trachea is lined with ciliated epithelium, which helps move mucus and trapped particles upward. Areolar connective tissue is found below mucous membranes, providing support and flexibility.

Question 3

Stratified squamous epithelium makes up the epidermis of the skin because:

Accepted Answer

The surface cells of stratified squamous epithelium in the skin are dead and provide a barrier to prevent water loss. However, the lower cells of this epithelium are capable of mitosis to replace the cells lost from the surface. Therefore, both of the given statements are correct.

Question 4

Which of the following statements are true of serous membranes?
 (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)
A.The parietal pleura lines the lungs.
B.Serous fluid permits diffusion of gases around the lungs.
C.The mesentery lines the abdominal organs.
D.The parietal pericardium lines the visceral pericardium.
E.Serous membranes are found in all open body cavities.
f.The thoracic counterpart of the peritoneum is the visceral pleura.
g.None are correct.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements are true...

Question 5

Which of the following statements are true of cardiac muscle? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

A) Cardiac muscle is found in the walls of the chambers of the heart, making it a primary component of heart function.
F) Contractions of the cardiac muscle in the heart allow for blood to be pumped through blood vessels, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues.

Question 6

Which of the following statements are true of nerve tissue? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

A nerve impulse involves electrical signals along the neuron and chemical signals at synapses. The myelin sheath provides electrical insulation for neurons.

Question 7

The tissue that sweeps pathogens up and out of the trachea is:

Accepted Answer

Ciliated epithelium is a type of tissue that lines the respiratory tract and contains hair-like structures called cilia. The cilia move in coordinated waves, sweeping mucus and trapped pathogens up and out of the trachea. This process is known as the mucociliary escalator and is an important mechanism for protecting the lungs from infection. Smooth muscle, simple squamous epithelium, and stratified squamous epithelium do not have the same sweeping function as ciliated epithelium.

Question 8

Simple squamous epithelium makes up the alveoli of the lungs because it is:

Accepted Answer

Simple squamous epithelium is thin, allowing for efficient gas exchange between the alveoli and the capillaries.

Question 9

Which of the following statements are true of connective tissues? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements are true...

Question 10

The tissue that is thin enough to permit diffusion of gases in the lungs is:

Accepted Answer

The tissue that is thin enough to permit diffusion of gases in the lungs is simple squamous epithelium. This type of tissue consists of a single layer of flat cells that allow for easy diffusion of gases between the lungs and bloodstream.

Question 11

The tissue that keeps the trachea an open airway is:

Accepted Answer

The trachea is made up of cartilage rings that prevent the collapse of the trachea and keep it as an open airway. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of the trachea but isn't the tissue responsible for maintaining the trachea as an open airway. Bone wouldn't be able to keep the trachea open as it doesn't have the flexibility required, and ciliated epithelium is responsible for moving mucus out of the trachea, not keeping it open.

Question 12

Which of the following statements are true of skeletal and smooth muscle? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statement.)

Accepted Answer

Skeletal muscle is voluntary and requires nerve impulses to contract. Smooth muscle is involuntary and found in places like the iris and uterus.

Question 13

Which of the following statements are true of connective tissue membranes? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

The perichondrium contains blood vessels that supply cartilage. The periosteum anchors tendons to bones. The meninges are membranes around the spinal cord. Collagen is stronger than elastin but less stretchy.

Question 14

Which statement is NOT true of the tissues of the trachea?

Accepted Answer

The lining of the trachea is not a serous membrane. It is made up of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells that secrete mucus. The cartilage rings keep the trachea open and the cilia sweep the mucus and debris up and out.

Question 15

Which of the following statements are true of the tissues of the digestive tract? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

B is true because columnar epithelium is the major tissue type in the lining of the small intestine, responsible for absorption and secretion. D is true because peristalsis, the rhythmic contractions that move food through the digestive tract, is brought about by smooth muscle. A is incorrect because salivary glands are made of both connective and epithelial tissue. C is incorrect because goblet cells secrete mucus, not enzymes, and they are found mainly in the large intestine. E is incorrect because cilia are found in the respiratory tract, not the digestive tract. F is incorrect because microvilli are found in the lining of the small intestine and help increase the surface area for absorption, but not in the stomach.

Question 16

Which of the following statements are true of glands? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

A) This is true. Exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts.
C) This is true. Some glands, such as goblet cells, are unicellular.
D) This is true. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
E) This is true. The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine cells, with the exocrine cells secreting digestive enzymes and the endocrine cells secreting hormones. Sweat glands, on the other hand, are purely exocrine glands. 
B) This is false. Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, not exocrine glands.
F) This is false. Exocrine glands secrete a variety of products, including digestive enzymes, sweat, and sebum, which are not necessarily waste products.

Question 17

Which of the following statements are true of bone,cartilage,and fibrous connective tissue (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements)?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements are true...

Question 18

Question 19

Which of the following statements are true of body fluids? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.)

Accepted Answer

Serous fluid prevents friction when the heart beats. Lymph is the name for tissue fluid that has entered lymph capillaries. Blood plasma is a transporting fluid. Saliva and gastric juice are both digestive fluids. White blood cells may be found in interstitial fluid as well as in plasma.
