Exam 9: Tissue Types

Which of the following is not a class of cartilage tissue?

Microvilli assist epithelial tissue in:

Mr. Melbourne has emphysema and has been admitted to the cardiac care unit with oxygen administered per nasal cannula. Emphysema destroys the tiny air sacs in the lungs, reducing the diffusion of oxygen into the blood. These tiny air sacs, alveoli, are formed by what type of tissue? What tissue type will form in place of the now damaged alveoli, and why will this impair the diffusion process?

Which is not characteristic of reticular tissue?

Adhesive molecules called integrins help bind epithelial cells to the basement membrane.

When transitional epithelium stretches, the cell shape changes from cuboidal to squamous in appearance.

Goblet cells, cilia, and microvilli are modifications of which type of epithelial tissue?

The most widespread and abundant tissue in the body is:

Because of their function, some histologists classify endothelium and mesothelium as connective tissue.

Which cells electrically insulate axons to increase the speed of conduction?

Striated muscle tissue can be controlled both voluntarily and involuntarily.

Bone-destroying cells are called osteoblasts.

Hyaluronidase assists in the absorption of injected drugs.

How can epithelial tissue be described?

The upper layer of stratified cuboidal epithelium can be keratinized for protection of the tissue below it.

Important functions of connective tissue include protection, secretion, and absorption.

Mammary glands are endocrine glands that produce milk.

Match each general tissue type with a corresponding specific tissue. -Neurons and neuroglia

Match each category of epithelial cell with its corresponding definition. -Multiple layers of cells with flat cells at the outer surface

Apocrine gland cells die as a result of their functioning.
