6 Multiple Choice Questions


  1. - Single layer of flattened cells, disk shapedcentral nuclei, sparse cytoplasm
    -Located in air sacs of lungs, kidney glomeruli, lining of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, seosal membrans
    -Allows passage of material by diffusion and filtration where protection is not important, secretes lubricating substances in erosal membrane
  2. Simple Squamous
    Simple Cuboial
    Simple olumnar (with Goblett Cells)
    Pseudostratified
    Keratinized Stratified Squamous
    Nonkeratinied stratified squamous
    Transition
  3. Human plantar skin
    Know - (epidermis, stratum asal, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratumcorneum, dermis, papillary layer, reticular layer

  4. -Be able to identify chondrocyte, perichondrium
    -Cartilages are normally set apartfrom other tissues by a perichondrium (but may not be present).
    -Cells: chondroblasts/ chondrocytes within cavities called lacumae (little lakes)
    -Forms the embryonic skeleton, covers the ends of long bones in joint cavities; forms the cartilages f the ribs (costal), nose, trachea, and larynx
    - Supports and reinforces, coshions; resists compressive stress

  5. -Modified simple columnar epithelium; cells and nuclei appear at different heights; may contain goblet cells or possess cilia
    -Ciliated type: found in the trachea and upper respiratory tract (this is often referred to as "respiratory epithelium")
    - Nonciliated type: in the ducts of large glands and parts of the male urethra
    -Function for scretion, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus (in ciliated type)

  6. -Network of reticular fibers (collagen III) in a typical loose ground substance
    -Reticular cells (fibroblasts that secrete reticular fibers) predominate.
    -Located in the liver, lymph nodes, bone, and spleeen
    -Fibes fom a soft, internal skeleton that supports other cell types

6 True/False Questions

  1. Connective Tissues-Areolar (Fibroblasts, Collagen fiber, elatic fiber)
    -Adipose (adipocytes) Fatcells, insulates, storage, cushions
    -Reticular (has reticular fipers going throughout)
    -Dense Regular CT
    -Hyaline Cartilage (chondrocyte, perichondrium)
    Elastic cartilage (chondrocyte, perichondrium, elastic fibers)
    -Fibrocartilage (chondrocyte, collagen fibers)
    -Compact Bone (Haversian system (osteon), central canal, lacunae, canaliculi,volkman's canal
    -Spongy Bone
    -Blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes)

          

  2. Simple columnar Epithelium
    Single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical, central nuclei; may exhibit microvilli
    -Kidney tubules, small ducts and secretory portions of glands, thyroid, overy surface
    -Function: Secretion, absorption

          

  3. Adipose Connective Tissue
    -Matrix is similar to areolar CT, but very sparse
    -Cells: closely packed adipocytes with nuclei displaced to the periphery by a large lipid droplet
    -Located under the skin, around the kidneys and eyes, in bones, witin the abdomen, and in breasts
    Provides reserve food fuel (triglycerides: insulates organs; and supports and potects organs.

          

  4. Transitional Epithelium
    Single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical, central nuclei; may exhibit microvilli
    -Kidney tubules, small ducts and secretory portions of glands, thyroid, overy surface
    -Function: Secretion, absorption

          

  5. Keratinized/nonkeratinized stratified squamou epithelium
    -Keratinized : found in epidermis
    -Nonkeratinized: found in the linings ofthe mouth, esophagus, and vagina
    - Several cell layers; basal cells are columnar/cuboidal (mitotically active); may be keratinized or nonkeratinized

          

  6. Nervous TissueNeuron
    Neuroglia
