Question 1

Which of the following statements are true of connective tissues (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

A) Elastic connective tissue is found in the walls of bronchial tubes and allows them to return to their normal position after inhaling and exhaling.
B) Adipose tissue stores fat and provides cushioning for organs such as the eyes and kidneys.
C) Areolar connective tissue contains immune cells such as mast cells and leukocytes.
D) Adipose tissue stores potential energy in the form of triglycerides, not glycogen.
E) Areolar connective tissue is found beneath all epithelial tissues, not just connective tissue membranes.
F) Fibrous connective tissue forms ligaments and the fasciae that enclose and separate muscles.

Question 2

Which of the following statements are true of bone,cartilage,and fibrous connective tissue (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

B,D,F

Question 3

Which of the following statements are true of the tissues of the respiratory tract (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

Which of the following statements are true of skeletal and smooth muscle (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

Which of the following statements are true of blood and blood cells (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

White blood cells are part of the immune system and help fight infections. Blood plasma acts as a solvent for nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Platelets are essential for blood clotting. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues, not the other way around. Blood cells are primarily produced in the red bone marrow, not the liver. Hemopoietic tissue forms blood cells, not blood plasma.

Question 6

Which of the following statements are true of cardiac muscle (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

A) Cardiac muscle forms the walls of the chambers of the heart.
F) The pumping of the heart moves blood through blood vessels. 
These statements are both true. 
B) Intercalated discs are not specialized nuclei of cardiac muscle cells; rather, they are specialized junctions that enable cell-to-cell communication in cardiac muscle. 
C) Cardiac muscle is not voluntary muscle, it is involuntary muscle, meaning it contracts without conscious control. 
D) Cardiac muscle cells do not require nerve impulses in order to contract; instead, they are capable of initiating their own contractions through pacemaker cells. 
E) The cardiac muscle of the valves of the heart does not push blood through; instead, the pressure gradients created by the contraction of the cardiac muscle in the walls of the chambers of the heart are responsible for moving blood through the valves.

Question 7

Which of the following statements are true of the tissues of the digestive tract (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

B) Columnar epithelium lines the small intestine and aids in absorption
D) Smooth muscle is responsible for the peristaltic contractions that move food through the digestive tract. 
A) The salivary glands are made of a mix of different types of glandular tissue, including serous and mucous glands, not just areolar connective tissue.
C) Goblet cells secrete mucus, not enzymes. 
E) Cilia are not present in the small intestine.
F) Microvilli are present in the small intestine to increase the surface area for absorption, not in the stomach.

Question 8

Which of the following statements are true of mucous membranes (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 9

Which of the following statements are true of nerve tissue (Select all that apply

Accepted Answer

A nerve impulse is both electrical (along the neuron) and chemical (across synapses). The myelin sheath provides electrical insulation for neurons, facilitating faster transmission of impulses.

Question 13

Which of the following statements are true of body fluids (Select all that apply)?

Accepted Answer

Serous fluid reduces friction around the heart. Lymph is tissue fluid in lymph capillaries. Blood plasma transports substances. Saliva and gastric juice aid digestion. White blood cells are in interstitial fluid and plasma.
